The Ohio State University Police Division (OSUPD) welcomed Officer Erin Rainbolt to the division with a pinning ceremony on February 8, 2024.
“Policing at Ohio State University is unique in a good way because I feel like we truly have a chance to help others and serve and protect others,” said Rainbolt.
Rainbolt attended the Central Ohio Technical College (COTC) where she completed the police training academy. She was then hired as a police officer for the Blendon Township Police Department for a year before her most recent employment as an officer for the Dresden Police Department.
Officer Rainbolt will spend the next at least 14 weeks training with a field officer before being assigned to solo patrol.
