The Columbus Division of Police was asked to look at some EEO allegations involving a member of the Columbus Division of Fire to determine if they are criminal in nature. Our Special Victim’s Bureau has been assigned to make that determination prior to determining whether the criminal or administrative investigation will commence.

If no criminal charges are filed, the investigation will be turned over to the fire division to carry out an administrative investigation, Martin said in a statement.
