Andy Beshear and the Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice Training (DOCJT) announced that 17 dispatchers from across the state graduated the Public Safety Dispatch Academy, and are now ready to begin answering the call to provide assistance and assurance to both citizens and law enforcement officers of the commonwealth.
