The Washington Court House City Council unanimously approved Ordinance 15-2025 on third reading, amending codified ordinance 33.17 to formally establish an auxiliary police unit.
Council members moved the ordinance to third reading and then moved for passage. A roll call recorded affirmative votes by the members present, and the ordinance passed without recorded opposition.
City officials described the change on the floor as an amendment to the codified ordinance that will allow the municipality to maintain an auxiliary police unit; the ordinance text as read cites "codified ordinance 33.17, auxiliary police unit established."
