Murray, Ky.–The Calloway County Sheriff’s Office received “Guardian Angel” devices through a Spirit of Blue Foundation grant. Sheriff Nicky Knight first heard of the grant in late January of 2022. “The safety of the deputies that serve Calloway County is my top priority, so I immediately began the process of applying for the grant” said Sheriff Knight.
Since 2020, 24 law enforcement officers have died after being struck unintentionally by a vehicle. The devices are designed to provide 360 degree lighting to help law enforcement officers be seen when outside of their patrol vehicle. The devices arrived late last week and were issued to each deputy in the department.
“I’m really thankful to have the addition of this life safety equipment for each of our deputies,” said Sheriff Knight.
