CCW applications suspended

The Clinton County Sheriff’s Office announced Monday it will temporarily suspend National Webcheck background checks and the processing of concealed carry (CCW) license applications effective 8 a.m. Tuesday, March 17.

In addition to suspending these services, the sheriff’s office is requesting that those individuals who call for law enforcement services, meet officers outside of their homes if they are physically able to.

“It is our hope that taking these small steps will assist in slowing potential community spread of this virus,” stated the sheriff’s office news release.

While some inconvenience will occur, the sheriff’s department feels it is important to take steps to protect the public as well as its employees from any potential and unnecessary exposure, which in turn should help to decrease the spread of this virus.

Any questions you may have concerning COVID-19 should be directed to the Ohio Department of Health’s Hotline at 1-833-427-5634. The Hotline’s operating hours are seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
