Coming up tonight on @WOWK13News at 6, I've got a look at the incredible contributions made in one of our local communities for kids this holiday season. ⤵⤵⤵
The Western Kentucky Christmas Toy Drive will help our children feel love and support this Christmas following these devastating tornados. New, unwrapped toys, games, books, technology or gift cards can be donated starting tomorrow, Dec. 14 – Dec. 18. https://t.co/WH6334RDqm
First snow!! 🆘 Multpile accidents on I64 in Carter County. Industrial Parkway is covered in ice but salt crews are working hard to get them clear. Give yourself extra time to get to where your going this morning. Be safe.
KSP currently has 736 Troopers & 55 Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Officers. In 2006 we had over 1,000 Troopers and in 2008 there were over 168 CVE Officers. These are historic low numbers & the lowest since 1988."
-KSP Commissioner Phillip Burnett, Jr.
" @GovAndyBeshear has proposed an increase of $15,000 for trooper pay & an $8,000 salary increase for telecommunicators that will ensure the positions are more appealing for new hires & to retain our current personnel."
-KSP Commissioner Phillip Burnett, Jr.
While KSP has a large recruiting class right now, even if all of those trooper candidates graduate, that would hardly be a drop in the bucket compared to the losses spelled out here 👇
Today, Gov. Andy Beshear unveiled part of his upcoming budget plan, which he said makes historic investments in law enforcement so the commonwealth can be a leader in improving public safety.
