Earlier this month, Gov. Mike DeWine called on state and local law enforcement agencies to check their inventories and donate any surplus or expired body armor or helmets to the Ohio National Guard, which is coordinating with the National Guard Bureau and the Department of Defense to distribute them.
“I know many of you share my concern for the Ukrainian military men and women who are bravely fighting against the senseless aggression of Russia,” DeWine wrote in his letter to agencies. “Your response could result in help that could save lives in Ukraine.”
