New Kentucky Judicial Commission on Mental Health announced

From Leigh Anne Hiatt

Frankfort, KY - The Supreme Court launched the Kentucky Judicial Commission on Mental Health on August 11, 2022, at a news conference in the Supreme Court Courtroom at the state Capitol.

With so many justice-involved individuals dealing with mental health issues, substance use and intellectual disabilities, the new commission will work to improve the practice, quality and timeliness of the judicial response to cases involving these needs.

You can watch the recorded news conference here. You can find the Supreme Court order establishing the commission here (PDF).

"The prevalence of mental illness, substance use disorder and intellectual disabilities in our society is undeniable," Chief Justice John D. Minton Jr. said. "For courts and our justice system, this prevalence has a disproportionate impact as the justice system has become the default system for addressing the needs of those with behavioral and mental health issues, and our state prisons and county jails are, without question, the largest providers of mental health services in this state."

The Best of Times--The Worst of Times?

By Mike Watson

Mixed feelings of exhilaration and impending doom still grip me at this time of year. Excitement about the commencement of a new school year was, and is, often overshadowed by the thought of rising daily before sun-up to prepare for a day in the classroom. During the school year, the same feelings accompanied later Sunday afternoons--foreshadowing the coming of Monday morning. Don't get me wrong, I loved school, and my friends and teachers and learning--at least in certain subjects.

Those mixed feelings continued true from the fall of 1965, when I started school, and continued through the beginning of school-year 2009-2010, my last year in the classroom! With thirteen years outside the education field, I still feel anticipation at this time of year... and I still wake up early in mid-winter to check school closings and delays!

KSP training local agencies to use drones

From Captain Paul Blanton

Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky State Police (KSP) Critical Incident Response Team recently instructed an unmanned aerial system (UAS) training course attended by Kentucky's local and county law enforcement agencies.

The course focused on teaching methods to forensically map a collision or crime scene utilizing a UAS, often referred to as a drone. Forensic mapping assists law enforcement officers in documenting key points of evidence allowing for accurate measurements and real-world perspective in a three-dimensional point of view.
