OTFCA: Pickaway County

South Central Ohio Major Crimes Unit

The Major Crimes Unit is an Ohio HIDTA multijurisdictional law enforcement task force that serves the citizens of Fairfield, and Pickaway counties.  The unit also provides drug enforcement services to the city of Logan in Hocking County, and the campus of Ohio University. These jurisdictions with a combined population of over 250,000 people include U.S. Routes 33 & 23 which connect Columbus to the Ohio River. The Major Crimes Unit employs a comprehensive strategy combining complex conspiracy investigations targeting sources of supply, street-level enforcement aimed at addressing quality of life complaints in the community, and a robust outreach program providing expedited access to treatment and recovery options outside of the criminal justice system.  This holistic approach to public services seeks to create and maintain strategic collaborations with its participating law enforcement agencies, community leaders, community stakeholders and members of the public.
