Despite the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office decision earlier this year to stop providing detailed daily call logs not only to Scioto County Daily News but other media outlets, we remain committed to public transparency. While we can’t give you the deep-dive breakdowns we once did, here’s everything we can still share about a bustling day for local law enforcement and emergency crews.

⚠️ A Note About Transparency
In early 2025, the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office chose to discontinue sharing detailed daily logs with Scioto County Daily News, limiting our ability to give the same depth of reporting we’ve proudly delivered in the past. However, we remain dedicated to bringing you every scrap of available data. We believe that an informed public is a safer public—and we won’t stop digging.
