GUEST SPEAKER: Tom Stickrath - Director of the Ohio Department of Public Safety
Tom has over 30 years of public service experience and has worked under six Ohio governors. He was a significant force to make major improvements in Ohio’s Criminal Justice and Public Safety arenas.Even while Ohio’s prison populations grew 625% (from 8,000 inmates to 50,000 inmates), using processes improvement methods like LEAN Six Sigma, Tom oversaw meaningful enhancements in:
- Prison Operations
- Juvenile Justice System
- Youth Services and
- Criminal Evidence Processing
Additionally, he helped drive more effective employment practices such as increased diversity and increased academic standards for personnel.
Near term public safety focuses in Ohio include finding solutions to problems including:
- Opioid Addiction
- Human Trafficking
- Youth & Driving Issues
- Texting and Driving
- Not wearing safety belts
It is also important to note that big changes are happening in and around the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Ohioans can register online at several BMV locations and reduce their wait times. In fact, online users of this tool cut wait times from an average of 26 minutes to an average of 3 minutes.
Further, Tom reminded Rotarians that 10/1/2020 is when new identification requirements will be implemented. After that date a “Real ID” will be required to enter federal buildings and to board flights. NOTE: The requirements for obtaining the Real ID at your local BMV can be found on the Ohio BMV website.
