PORTSMOUTH, Ohio — The Portsmouth Police Department’s records bureau will be closed Wednesday for Veterans Day and will reopen Thursday at a new address on the city’s Esplanade, the department said in a Facebook post.
The bureau will be closed Nov. 11 in observance of the federal holiday honoring military veterans. When it reopens Nov. 12, it will operate out of 805 Gallia St., the former Fifth Third Bank building, with records housed in the basement, according to the department.
Phone numbers for the records bureau will not change despite the move, the department said.
The records bureau handles public requests for police reports, background checks and other department records for city residents and businesses.
Veterans Day is observed annually on Nov. 11, marking the anniversary of the armistice that ended fighting in World War I in 1918. The holiday honors all U.S. military veterans, living and deceased.
