I attended the Kentucky Law Enforcement Memorial Service yesterday. Former Chief Pope was honored and placed on the wall. He was also placed on the national memorial last week. Chief Pope was one of 26 historical fallen officers placed on the wall. I recieved a flag in his honor that will placed in a case at HPD. Of course Chief Pope's story can be found under the department history tab to the left.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Officer Durman of the Lexington Police Department. He was killed in the line of duty last night. Our prayers also go out to his family, friends, and co-workers.

A search warrant was executed today at 1282 KY 38 by Harlan PD officers. The search was a result of a recent investigation lead by Officer George Young regarding the illegal sale of alcohol in a dry territory. A large number of assorted beer, whisky, liquor and money were located at the residence.
Bobby R. Muncy, 64 was arrested in charged with the Illegal Sale of Alcohol in a Dry Territory. An arrest warrant was also served on Muncy for Unlawful Transaction with a Minor and Wanton Endangerment 1st. The warrant is also a result of the investigation by Officer Young. It is alleged that Muncy unlawfully sold an alcoholic beverage to a minor and as a result the minor had to be treated at Harlan ARH. The case is still under investigation and more charges pending.
