Cincinnati Police Department
The Cincinnati Police Department is the primary law enforcement agency of Cincinnati, Ohio. The department has 1,053 sworn officers and 119 non-sworn employees.
When Cincinnati incorporated as a village in 1802, a ‘night watch’ was established, primarily to guard against fire, but also to ensure the peace. The organization of a police force, similar to those in larger cities, came in 1859 with the appointment of the first police commissioner.
Cincinnati also has a museum dedicated to their police force, known as The Greater Cincinnati Police Historical Society Museum.
The department adopted the Smith & Wesson Model 5906 9mm handgun based on a recommendation made in 1987, following a request to the director of public safety by the Fraternal Order of Police President. In late 1988, it was determined that the Smith & Wesson Model 5906 9mm handgun would be chosen by CPD. The Model 5906 pistol would remain in service until it was replaced by the current sidearm, the Smith & Wesson M&P (also chambered in 9mm) in 2006.
In 2012, after 154 years, the Cincinnati Police Department finally replaced their white shirts with blue shirts. White hats were removed temporarily, but white hats on patrol were reinstated in 2013.
Former Chief Jeffery Blackwell was fired by the City of Cincinnati as police chief on September 9, 2015. Eliot Isacc was sworn in as the CPD's Police Chief on December 10, 2015.
The 2001 Cincinnati riots were a reaction to the fatal shooting in Cincinnati of Timothy Thomas, a 19-year-old black male, by Steven Roach, a white police officer, during an on-foot pursuit by several officers. Businesses were looted, storefronts damaged, and small fires were set. Since the riots, Cincinnati has set city records for murders and other violent crime, though the relationship between such crime and the riots is not clear. In 2006, 89 people were murdered in Cincinnati, setting a record for most murders since city records were kept.[citation needed]
A local independent magazine, City Beat, published research that an "analysis of 141,000 traffic citations written by Cincinnati Police in a 22-month period found black drivers twice as likely as whites to be cited for driving without a license, twice as likely to be cited for not wearing a seat belt and four times as likely to be cited for driving without proof of insurance."[citation needed][when?]
