Good morning, Pickaway County. When it comes to lightning-fast responses, Circleville's finest are giving The Flash a run for his money. With an impressive five-minute average response time and over 15,000 calls handled last year, our police force has been working at superhero speed to keep our community safe. Even K-9 officer Dexter got in on the action, helping to seize more than 300 grams of dangerous drugs throughout the year.
Meanwhile, our local Boy Scouts are proving they're just as electrifying, quite literally. Troop 5170's Roundtown Patrol recently traveled north to tackle an electricity-themed Klondike competition, mastering everything from linemen rescue to chocolate welding. Between our efficient police force and our adventurous scouts, it seems Pickaway County is generating quite the positive charge these days.
