The Adams County Board of Supervisors on May 4, 2026, approved a new county safety policy that requires pre-employment physicals and drug screenings for new hires and mandates CPR and first-aid training for all permanent employees. The motion was moved by Leland Shipley and seconded by Scott Akin and passed unanimously.
