Emergency services in Scioto County, Ohio faced a wide variety of calls ranging from domestic complaints to traffic incidents and medical emergencies. While the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office purposely scuddled their reporting program earlier this year to stop providing detailed daily call logs to Scioto County Daily News, limiting the depth of coverage, we remain committed to sharing all available information with our community.
