The emergency phone number, 911, to the Hardin County sheriff’s office has been fixed. The line was out for a while today due to an accident near Kenton.
The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office has received a $26,000 grant for selective traffic enforcement and impaired driving enforcement efforts. The grant will pay for deputy overtime and related expenses.
The grant is from the U.S. Department of Transportation and is effective from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30, 2019.
Deputy Austin Carey and his K-9 partner in training, Axel, were recent recipients of a K-9 trauma kit from K9s of Valor, an organization whose mission is to provide life saving and essential equipment for K-9 teams. Axel is hoping to be trained and receive his certification as a full-fledged 'deputy' by the spring of 2019.
