Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. Monday, March 13th, Governor Andy Beshear presented the City of Paintsville, Floyd and Martin County Sheriff's Offices a check for $26,316 from the Law Enforcement Protection Program. The Paintsville County Sheriff's Department will receive just over $10,000 to help replace equipment lost during the shooting in Allen, June 30th. So today, obviously, the Governor presented us a check for some to buy equipment with and so happened to be that right after our tragedy in Allen, the Governor reached out and said, I want to know what's your name, what you lost against them, what can we replace, tell me what you've got to do to get it. And so we started naming him off some things that we needed and he said, I'll get this office up and going, whatever this administration can do and that's what they've done. And today, we already received our check yesterday, but today they presented us the check and we're so thankful from the Governor and his staff for all they've done for us. Currently, the Beshear administration is also working on helping provide an upgraded communication system in addition to the new equipment. Some of the issues that came up from the tragedy was obviously a part of our communications. We didn't have communications. Our radio system was not the best in the world. From the incident itself, we lost bulletproof vests that were shot at. We lost guns. So this part is to replace the guns. Immediately he made a place, a request into some funds for a new communication system that will be high dollar. It'll be in hundreds of thousands of dollars that he's requested to get our communication system up and running. And so in the future, we will hopefully be taking possession of that. But, you know, this administration has been there from day one early on, even before our tragedy in Allen. But this administration from the onset of the Allen tragedy has been here day by day by day seeing what we need, what our families need, and a check with the families of all the police officers to see if there's something that this administration can do. And for that, we're so thankful. We're glad to show it today to express our thanks and our gratitude and receive our check. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Brianna Robinson.
