Ohio collecting law enforcement protective gear for Ukraine civilian territorial defense

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced Friday the Ohio Department of Public Safety will begin collecting hundreds of pieces of personal protective gear for donation to members of the Ukraine civilian territorial defense.

In March, the governor requested an inventory from local and state law enforcement agencies on the amount of surplus or expired, but still functional, personal protective gear that could potentially be donated to Ukraine.

The state said more than two dozen agencies responded, offering about 75 ballistic and riot helmets and 840 pieces of body armor, including vests and plates.
