Title: Ohio Arrest-Related Deaths, 2008-2010

Summary: An arrest-related (ARD) death is defined as a death that occurs anytime a person’s freedom to leave is restricted by state or local law enforcement. Arrest-related death incidents include:  A death that occurs before law enforcement personnel establish physical custody or before a formal arrest process is initiated.  A death that occurs while attempting to elude law enforcement personnel during the course of apprehension (e.g., police chases involving action by law enforcement personnel such as deploying tire deflation devices, and standoffs).  A death caused by any use of force by state or local law enforcement personnel, as well as those not directly related to actions of law enforcement, such as deaths attributed to suicide, accidental injury, and illness or natural causes.  A death that involves law enforcement assistance in restraining and transporting individuals in need of medical or mental health care. Deaths that occur in a jail or other long-term holding facility and deaths that occur in the custody of federal law enforcement officers are outside the scope of the ARD program and are not collected by OCJS. The data collection cycle begins January 1 and ends December 31. OCJS researchers rely on multiple sources to collect ARD data; but media reports are often used for initial identification. Official autopsy reports are then requested via fax from the appropriate county coroner. Once these reports are received four weeks to six months following the death, final incident reports are completed. In some cases, coroner’s offices are proactive and submit reports to OCJS of deaths they believe to qualify under the ARD program. Some of these reports have been excluded from this summary because they do not meet the parameters of an ARD.
