 On Thursday, October 5th, Kentucky State troopers from post 9 paid a visit to the Culveron McDonald's for coffee with a trooper. The officers were able to sit down for a relaxing breakfast while engaging with the community in a low intensity environment. The event also allows community members to speak with troopers about ongoing issues and how to handle them. It gives us an opportunity to get out and interact with the public. A lot of the times when the public has interaction with us, it's probably because they've called 911 or they've needed all enforcement at their residence. So this gives us an opportunity to get out, meet the public. It gives us an opportunity to get out, leave post, and we get to meet people like this morning we interacted with some children here that was with their grandmother. So it gives the public an opportunity to see us in a different light and to sit down and tell us what's going on in their community, which also helps us when policing in their community.

Kentucky State Police focuses on community policing and working in tandem with those they protect and serve. By working closer with the public, they can form a stronger relationship together. That's what Kentucky State Police is based on. That's how I was trained as a young trooper years ago is community policing to get out and be involved in the community and that you live, work and police in. And this is an opportunity for us to be in the community setting so where the community comes to. And this gives us an opportunity to meet with them and they get to know us because a lot of, we have a lot of young troopers here at Post Now and the people in the community don't know them. And you know, I actually work where I live. So a lot of the people in the county that I work know me, but this is an opportunity for people here in the cold run area, in the Pike County area to come out and see other troopers that they may have never seen before and get to know them.
