Columbus picks first inspector general of police

Why it matters: Hendricks-Moore's position, along with the Civilian Police Review Board she will answer to, were created to provide oversight to the Columbus Division of Police.

• Both were established in a charter amendment overwhelmingly supported by local voters in 2020.

Catch up quick: Hendricks-Moore spent decades in law enforcement before joining the inspector general's office in Detroit as an investigator.

• She's pointed to her experience "on both sides of the badge" as being fit to lead investigations into Columbus officers' conduct.

What they're saying: "I am confident that Ms. Hendricks-Moore will embrace transparency, ensure accountability and act with integrity in all her interactions with residents and law enforcement," Mayor Andrew Ginther said in a statement.
