The Kentucky Coroners Association joins communities across the Commonwealth in mourning the tragic loss of Kentucky State Police Trooper Hayden Phillips, Unit 369, who was killed in the line of duty.

We extend our deepest condolences to Trooper Phillips’ family, friends, fellow troopers, and the entire Kentucky State Police family.

Please keep all those affected by this tremendous loss in your thoughts and prayers.

Rest easy, Trooper Phillips. Your service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

As Chief Deputy Coroner I worked with the Anderson County Health Department and representatives from Casey’s Law to help bring this upcoming Narcan training and Casey's law information experience together.

This narcan training will provide people in our community with knowledge and resources to recognize an overdose, respond quickly, and potentially save a life.

The Casey's Law training session will give information about the legal process for families and others to petition the court for involuntary treatment for a person suffering from a substance use disorder when specific legal criteria are met. The process includes court proceedings, professional evaluations, and protections for the rights of the person involved.

It can provide families with another avenue to seek treatment when a loved one’s substance use has reached a point where they may be unable or unwilling to seek help on their own.

I appreciate everyone who worked together to make this possible.

💜🩵 SEPTEMBER IS SU***DE PREVENTION AWARENESS MONTH 🩵💜

In the fire service, we’re trained to answer the call, help others on their worst days, and be strong when people need us most. But sometimes, the person who needs help is the one standing beside us.

The struggles we carry aren’t always visible.

This month is a reminder to check on your people — your brothers and sisters, coworkers, friends, family, and neighbors. Ask the question. Make the phone call. Sit down and listen. A simple conversation can make a difference.

💜 You are not alone.
🩵 You matter.
💜 Asking for help is a sign of strength.

Mental health matters, both inside and outside the firehouse. Together, we can help break the stigma and remind one another that no one has to face their darkest moments alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Help is available 24/7.

Check on your people. Listen. Support. Be there. You never know when one conversation could save a life. 💜🩵
