Warren County Emergency Alert Sent in Error, Sheriff Confirms Communication Center Mistake
WARREN COUNTY, OH — An emergency alert instructing residents to “secure doors and windows” was mistakenly sent out countywide Friday, according to the Warren County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities have confirmed there is no widespread threat, and residents are being asked not to call 911 regarding the alert.
The message was originally intended only for a small portion of Deerfield Township, specifically the Woodfield development area in the Landen neighborhood, where a SWAT operation was underway involving a fugitive.
Due to an error in the communication center, the alert was inadvertently broadcast to the entire county, including areas such as Franklin, Carlisle, and other municipalities where no threat was present.
Carlisle city officials issued a clarification shortly after the alert, assuring residents that there was no active emergency in Carlisle and that the message had been sent out in error.
“If you received the alert, it was due to your cell phone being registered to an address in Warren County,” officials explained. “There is no need for concern unless you are in the specific area affected by the SWAT operation.”
The Warren County Sheriff’s Office is actively working to address the mistake and restore accurate communication moving forward.
Additional updates will be provided if the situation in Deerfield Township changes.
Residents are reminded to follow official law enforcement sources for verified information.
