On April 10, 2025, the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office responded to a total of 38 calls. These calls included incidents requiring assistance from fire, EMS, and law enforcement. Due to recent changes in reporting, the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office has discontinued the detailed police log reports they previously provided. As a result, we now have limited information on the specific nature and outcomes of many calls, especially those involving law enforcement activity. For example, while we can see that units responded to Walmart to assist in the shootout with PPD SWAT that we reported on earlier, there are no details about that incident.

The Scioto County Sheriff’s Office handled a wide range of emergency and non-emergency calls throughout the day. The high volume of EMS transports highlights ongoing medical service demand in the region. Unfortunately, due to the discontinuation of detailed police logs by the sheriff’s office, we are unable to provide fuller context on many law enforcement-related incidents.
