Last week Recruit Warren participated in a community service project while away at training at DOCJT in Richmond. This was part of an initiative for the recruits to give back to the kids of the community and Recruit Warren was one of those selected to represent his class which in turn represented our department. Recruit Warren decorated his cruiser and supplied the kids with candy purchased by himself with fellow Stanford PD officers pitching in as well.

Kentucky State Police Investigate Fatal Collision in Lincoln County

STANFORD, Ky. (October 21, 2026) – The Kentucky State Police (KSP), Post 7 Richmond, was contacted just before 5:15 p.m. on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, regarding a fatal two-vehicle collision involving a commercial motor vehicle at the intersection of US 27 South and KY 698 in Lincoln County.

The initial investigation indicates a 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer, operated by Clifford Walker, 81, of Stanford, was turning onto US 27 from KY 698 when it entered the path of a semi-truck operated by Adam Grant, 44, of Columbia. The semi-truck was unable to avoid the collision.

Please join us in congratulating Recruits Bo Wallin and Leevi Warren as they were officially sworn in by Interim Mayor Jeremy Johnson prior to beginning their journey through the Kentucky Law Enforcement Basic Training Academy.

Both recruits were hired by Mayor Dalton Miller this year and have already been working in the community, completing in-house and field training with the Stanford Police Department while awaiting their academy dates. Recruit Wallin will begin the academy on Monday, while Recruit Warren is tentatively scheduled to attend in September.

What makes this especially meaningful is that both Bo and Leevi chose to stay in their hometown to serve the community that helped shape them. As graduates of Lincoln County High School, they have each demonstrated a longstanding commitment working in law enforcement ti make a difference in the community they were raised. Recruit Wallin has participated in the department’s Ride-Along Program since high school, and Recruit Warren served as a department intern a few years ago during his senior year through the Lincoln County High School Co-Op Program.

We are proud to welcome these outstanding young men to our department and grateful for their desire to serve the citizens of Stanford and Lincoln County. We wish them both a safe, successful, and rewarding career in law enforcement and look forward to watching them grow as they serve the community they have always proudly called home.

We are experiencing numerous city streets and county roads that are flooded. Daylight gives us a false sense of security that it “doesn’t look that bad”. Turn Around Don’t Drown
