Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. Since October of 2020, the Floyd County Sheriff's Department has been carrying comfort items for children involved in an arrest. But now the comfort items carry on the name of the officers killed in the Allen shooting in July of 2022. And basically they meant to give to children that, you know, for trauma relief, I guess, for lack of better words. So they have something, you know, soft and cuddly to play with in those bad situations. And if their parents have been involved in some kind of opioid charge or an overdose or somebody that's going to rehab or even if they're going to be brought into custody, we use them to try to give to the children, just try to relieve some of that trauma. One of them represents Draco, which everyone in the community knows was real influential in obtaining a lot of illegal opiates off the street with what he did. And the other one honors Deputy William Petrie and Deputy Oliver Little. A lot of their main focus was the drug problem that we have. The comfort items were purchased through an OVC grant in partnership with the Floyd County Fiscal Court to help build trust within the community. Not only are the bears, you know, a good tool to try to gain trust in those kids that are in these traumatic situations, whether it be dealing with opioid crisis or any situation that they're in. They're really special to us because, you know, the dogs have Draco's name on it. The bears have Deputy Petrie and Deputy Little's unit numbers on them, so they're special to us. It means a lot to all of us to honor them and I think, you know, we're coming up on a year now and we've done everything that we know to honor them and we want to continue to do that.
