Though not a detective in Ohio, I'm sure the same requirements exist in that state as they do my own.
Becoming a detective is not an easy task. It takes many years of experience and training.
In larger departments there can be very serious competition for the position as well making it even more difficult.
Knowing your job and the laws is certainly very important. Additional training in evidence collection, crime scene processing, interviews and interrogations is also required.
Many agencies have different types of detectives such as those who deal with juvenile crimes, narcotics, and adult crimes.
I'd suggest you visit your local law enforcement agency in an effort to meet the folks that you inquire about. I'm sure they'd love to spend a few moments with you to describe their responsibilities!
Best wishes!

For a police detective, it is about the same as everywhere in the U.S. At least 3-5 years as a patrol officer displaying a keen sense for investigative work, and knowledge of the laws involved in investigating crimes such as vice, robbery, homicide, etc.

Stupidity helps. I've seen way too many of them and they act dumber than a rock.
