Summary
The Board of Commissioners approved a proclamation recognizing a large 2025 domestic‑terrorism preparedness training exercise that involved over 400 public‑safety personnel and more than 550 volunteer role players; the proclamation named multiple local agencies and acknowledged regional partners.
Hamilton County commissioners on Dec. 18 approved a proclamation recognizing the county’s 2025 domestic‑terrorism preparedness initiative, a full‑scale training exercise the proclamation said involved more than 400 public‑safety officials and over 550 volunteer role players.
The proclamation, read aloud by a county staff speaker, named participating personnel and agencies including Officer Jared Sheets, Battalion Chief Adam Lee, Kelsey Ramsey, Sean Miller, Ryan Tennison, Pam Eldridge and Larkin Uhrick, and listed partnering police and fire departments and state agencies. It noted the exercise ran Nov. 18–21, 2025, and took place at the Rudolph Music Center and the Arena Innovation Mile.
Why it matters: Commissioners framed the event as an investment in county preparedness for large public events and emergencies. A public‑safety official who addressed the board said the training was timely and boosted local readiness. "The event and the training was very timely, obviously, as we see what happens in the news and this couldn't have been more spot on," the speaker said, adding the exercise would make the county better prepared to respond.
The board voted to adopt the proclamation by unanimous voice vote and paused briefly for a presentation photograph and remarks from attendees. The proclamation was recorded for the minutes and the commission directed staff to place the signed proclamation on file.
