Thank you for your service, Sgt. Hudson! You are missed!

Today we’re thinking of Sergeant Ryan Hudson on the first anniversary of his passing.

Sergeant Hudson showed a strong commitment to service from the very start of his career. He quickly became known as a knowledgeable, patient, and brave officer. Sergeant Hudson’s loss has left a lasting impact on the Paducah Police Department and the community he served with honor, integrity, and distinction.

Ryan, we miss you every day, but you remain with us through our stories and memories.

We were honored to be able to provide a meal to the Paducah Police Department in recognition of National Police Week last week! Thank you to each and every one of you for your service and dedication to our community!

Earlier this week, some of our board members were able to stop by the Paducah Police Department during National Police Week to thank officers, dispatchers, and staff for their dedicated service to our community. As an added bonus: Board members were also able to test out the newly-delivered driving simulator! It is exciting to hear about the many ways it's already being used by the department! Thank you again to the donors who supported this project!
