Ohio Revised Code Title V. Townships § 505.702

A board of township trustees may appropriate township general revenue fund moneys not appropriated for any other purpose for the purpose of establishing, promoting, and operating neighborhood crime watch programs in the township.

If the board finds that any neighborhood crime watch program receiving funds pursuant to this section uses them for any purpose not clearly a public purpose authorized by this section and by the board, or that any such program fails to comply with accounting and reporting requirements under Chapter 117. of the Revised Code, the board shall withhold further payments of funds to that program.
