From emergency medical calls to theft investigations and domestic complaints, Scioto County law enforcement, firefighters, and medics had a full plate on Wednesday, June 4, 2025. In total, the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) logged 61 separate incidents across the region.
Due to a decision by the SCSO to stop providing detailed call logs to the Scioto County Daily News in early 2025, we’re no longer able to deliver the in-depth breakdowns you’ve come to expect. However, we remain committed to transparency and will continue to report every scrap of information we can obtain.
