25 years ago, September 11th, 2001, our nation suffered the greatest act of terrorism, ending the lives of 2,977 innocent people. As we drift further away from that day, the need to remember and honor those lives and that day are even more important for younger generations.

This is a huge accomplishment for our community and especially local law enforcement. The ability for dispatchers to provide crucial information in seconds instead of minutes is a tremendous advantage for officer safety and their ability to perform their duties. Also shoutout to Dispatch Director Justin Rice and his dispatchers for putting in the work to get this project accomplished!!

We have been working on this goal for the past few years, and we are happy to announce that we went live last week with NCIC. What does this mean? We no longer have to call Kentucky State Police to run license plates, articles, or drivers license. We are now able to run those in the dispatch center and relay the information more timely to our police officers. We would like to thank Judge Eddie Barnes and the Powell County Fiscal Court for their help in obtaining this great service for our 911 Center.

Educational Opportunities through Technology:

Chief Ian Morton recently attended training for recertificafion as an Axon Taser instructor at the Paducah Police Department. Chief Morton has been a certified taser instructor for 6 years. This certification allows Chief Morton to instruct/teach other officers, deputies and correction officers on the proper use, care and legality of utilizing a Taser Energy Weapon. This year, the opportunity to train on Axons VR platform allowed Chief Morton to experience a new training tool that is the future of Taser Energy Weapon training. Having a nonlethal option like a taser available to officers, increases the odds of everyone remaining safe during a call response. Being able to bring this type of training back home is paramount for not only public safety but officer saftey.

Special Thanks to Paducah Police Department Kentucky for hosting this instructor course.
