Citizens for a Safer Community, Clark County Ohio

03/20/2026

Clark County is releasing the results of its community survey regarding the proposed Public Safety Complex. The survey generated meaningful input from residents across the county, providing valuable input on a range of issues including the condition and future needs of public safety facilities, potential project costs, possible locations, and the perceived impact on the surrounding community.

Survey responses reflected a wide range of perspectives. Some participants emphasized the importance of modernizing aging facilities to support public safety operations, while others raised questions related to location, cost, and long-term community impact.

The Board of County Commissioners appreciates the time residents took to share their views. The feedback gathered through the survey will be carefully reviewed and considered as part of the County's ongoing evaluation of how best to address public safety facility needs in Clark County.

In light of this input, County leadership will take additional time to review the information, evaluate any new potential options, and provide updates to the community as the process moves forward. Additionally, the County has requested a three-month extension from City Commission, moving the zoning meeting originally scheduled for April 7, 2026, to July 14, 2026. We thank all community members who participated and contributed to this important conversation.

Plesse remember - this SALES tax equates $0.50 on $100 spend. A sales tax shares this with more than county residents.

The support is greatly appreciated. Please share this post!

Thank you to the Springfield Patrolman’s Association for their support of the building of new jail facilities.

“A modernized jail will not only improve our ability to detain and rehabilitate offenders but also provide necessary resources that allow us to better serve and protect our community.”

A new facility will accommodate programming for offenders for rehabilitation. Offenders should know they are going to go to jail and face consequences for their actions.

Currently, there are too many times the decision has to be made to release non-violent criminals due to the capacity of the jail.

Hello all. On the evening of October 20, 2025, Sheriff Clark presented to the New Carlisle City Council. His presentation highlighted the current state of the jail as well as the plans for the new facility. His goal is to not only make Clark County a better community for all of us, but to improve the lives of those incarcerated as he's seen modeled in other areas and believes we can see similar results here given the space for proper programming. This video is about 18 minutes long. Thanks for tuning in.

Recently, there have been many posts going around about the Sheriff, this committee, and allegations of impropriety.

All questions regarding the land deal, the selection of the land and how that decision was reached needs to be directed to the County Commisioners.

This committee supports the sales tax to support the new facility. The location of said facility has been entered into agreement with the seller and the Commissioners.

This committee (of two people) are merely supporting the effort because we feel it’s the right thing to do and stand to gain nothing other than a safer community, which all county residents do no matter how you decide to vote.

This committee has been appropriately registered with the county BOE to show support for a county ballot issue.

Thank you,
