In recent months, the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office has made the decision to no longer provide the detailed incident reports previously shared with the media and public. These logs—which contain only the basic information of calls received and responded to—are now the only documentation made publicly available. While this limits the transparency and detail historically provided, we continue to review these logs to offer residents a general overview of law enforcement and emergency service activity in our area.
Below is a summary of calls responded to by the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office and area EMS units on April 9, 2025.
