Our Records Bureau is responsible for the following:

In April of 2004 the Records Bureau was given a new responsibility when the Ohio Concealed Carry Law came into effect. The records clerks process the Conceal Carry applications and issue the licenses after the applications have been approved by the Sheriff.
