The Central Install facility is located at the Department of Public Safety’s Alum Creek Complex in southeast Columbus. This facility is made up of 16 Electronic Technicians (ET’s) who are responsible for installing all Highway Patrol cruisers with radio and electronic equipment. This equipment includes radios, CB’s, scanners, emergency lightbars, sirens, and alarm systems. This unit also handles vehicle installations for all of the Department of Public Safety fleet.

The Central Install ET’s also provide support to District ET’s and conduct eavesdropping countermeasures sweeps for Ohio’s elected officials and other state agencies. They also maintain the Division’s Mobile Command Vehicle in a constant state of readiness to respond to statewide emergency situations.
