This week the Kentucky Sheriffs’ Association is holding its annual conference in Bowling Green, and Sen. Rand Paul was one of the guest speakers, kicking off the event Monday morning.
Paul addressed many topics including out of control government spending at the federal level, national debt, big Pharma and the investigation of failings of the secret service in Butler, Pennsylvania last month.
Throughout the week there will be pertinent speakers who address various topics of concern to law enforcement officials in Kentucky, and around the nation.
The purpose of the Kentucky Sheriff’s Association shall be to encourage social, charitable, and educational activities among the Sheriffs; to continue the education of the various Sheriffs and their Deputies within the Commonwealth of Kentucky in all phases of law enforcement practice, procedure and technique; to resist the constant efforts to curtail the efforts of law enforcement officers to preserve law and order within the Commonwealth of Kentucky; to educate the public in the observance of law and order; and, to do any and all things to promote the enforcement of law and order and the suppression of crime. The Kentucky Sheriff’s Association will support the youth in the Commonwealth of Kentucky by Sponsoring the Kentucky Sheriffs’ Boys and Girls Ranch for less fortunate children.
