The Ohio office of the Attorney General is responsible for convicting both street-level and complex drug offense criminals. Through the Bureau of Criminal Investigation, the office works with other law enforcement departments to investigate and apprehend drug crime suspects.
To effectively convict drug crime suspects, they use sophisticated technology to collect evidence. For instance, in the past, vehicle tracking devices, phone trackers, photos or videos, ground sensors, and photo imagery have all been in use. With such technological evidence, the chances of conviction are very high.
