The Madison County Emergency Medical District would like to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to the Masons of the Grand Lodge F&AM of Ohio for their incredibly generous donation that will directly benefit the youngest members of our community.

Recently, MWB Keith Newton proudly presented a check from the Ohio Masonic Charitable Foundation to Madison County EMD Chief Brian Bennington, funding the purchase of FOUR Aegis Neonatal Restraint Systems. These infant safety restraint systems are now being placed in service on our vehicles and will allow our crews to safely and securely transport infants while providing critical emergency care.

A special thanks to Former Firefighter / EMt and current Mason William Leonard for submitting this request and helping make this life-saving support possible. This donation will have a lasting impact on our ability to serve Madison County families with the highest level of care and safety.

The Masons are a great organization and a valued partner in our success. We truly appreciate this donation and the continued commitment to our community.

Thank you for helping us protect those who need it most.

Chief Bennington

Madison County Sheriff’s Office Announces the Passing of Lieutenant J. Bryan White

It is with deep sorrow that the Madison County Sheriff’s Office announces the passing of Lieutenant J. Bryan White, a respected and dedicated member of our law enforcement family. Lt. White served the citizens of Madison County with honor, integrity, and unwavering commitment. His service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Lt. White began his law enforcement career in 1996 with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office. In 2008, he joined the Ohio Attorney General’s Office – Bureau of Criminal Investigation, where he continued to distinguish himself through professionalism and dedication. Prior to Sheriff Sabin’s retirement in 2019, Lt. White transitioned from Ohio BCI to the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, where he served as Commander of the Investigations Division and Assistant County Coroner.

We ask that you keep Lt. White’s family, friends, and colleagues in your thoughts during this difficult time. Details regarding memorial arrangements will be shared as they become available.
