"Date of report: November 17, 2014."Report -- Exhibits -- Agency response.The Office of the Ohio Inspector General received a complaint from Christopher M. Jones alleging that his former employer, Safety Technologies Inc. (STI), overbilled the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) for security devices installed at OSHP posts throughout the state. Jones was the account manager with STI on a project for security upgrades at OSHP posts that began in June 2012. Jones claimed STI billed OSHP for the number of estimated labor hours to install card swipe door access devices instead of the actual labor hours required to install the devices. To support his allegation, Jones provided a photo of a whiteboard displaying a list of OSHP posts with the number of estimated labor hours and the much lower number of actual hours spent at each post. Jones reported that this whiteboard was located in the office of STI Vice President Dan Sexton. Jones also claimed after he confronted the president of STI about the overbilling, his employment with STI was terminated
