Last night, Damian’s mother reached out to tell us about the awesome BGPD pumpkin they made together. She shared that Damian wanted us to have it!

You bet we were honored to meet Damian and give his masterpiece a special place in our front lobby! This family sure has some serious talent!

We are so thankful for his kindness, thoughtfulness and the connection he has with his police department.

Happy Halloween!

From helping students safely cross the street to providing extra assistance to students with special needs, his kindness, patience and dedication have made a lasting impression.

It’s a great reminder that even the smallest acts of service can make a big difference in someone’s day.

Every day is a chance to improve.

This week, our Crisis Negotiation Team welcomed Dr. Randy Mackoff and retired Constable Cinda Mackoff to the David Whitson Public Safety Training Center for a three-day SNAP (Six Step Negotiation Assessment Process) workshop.

The Mackoffs traveled all the way from Vancouver, British Columbia, to share their knowledge and experience. The skills and lessons they shared will help strengthen our team and better prepare us to serve people during some of their most difficult moments.

A special thank you to Dr. and Mrs. Mackoff for sharing their time, wisdom and expertise with us. We are grateful they made the trip to Bowling Green!

We also appreciate the Warren County Sheriff's Office and Owensboro Police Department for joining us. Opportunities to learn and train alongside our law enforcement partners make all of us better.

Better training. Stronger partnerships. Better service to our community.

This month, Sergeant Brad Hogue and Public Information Officer Ronnie Ward had the opportunity to share our community engagement programs with law enforcement leaders from across Kentucky.

We enjoyed sharing stories about the relationships we’ve built, the programs we’ve developed and the incredible people who make it all possible.

Our schools, businesses, neighborhood organizations, city partners and community members continually step up with ideas, support and opportunities to make a difference. We are incredibly thankful for their partnerships and the support we receive.

Thank you to the DOCJT Leadership Section for inviting us and to our Bowling Green community for giving us so much to be proud of.

We are grateful to serve alongside you!
