OLDHAM COUNTY POLICE PRESS RELEASE
 
On Wednesday, December 2, 2009 law enforcement officers, agencies and individuals from across the state were recognized for outstanding achievement at the 2009 Governor’s Impaired Driving Enforcement Awards ceremony held today at the Embassy Suites in Lexington.  Boyd Sigler, Director of Highway Safety and Chuck Geveden, Executive Director, presented the awards.

From October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009, there were 274 arrests made in Oldham County for alcohol related offenses.  The Oldham County Police are proud to announce that Officer Justin Flynn received the Governor’s Impaired Driving Enforcement Award for 2009.  Officer Flynn is pictured below receiving his award below at the embassy Suites in Lexington.  On December 20, 2009, the Oldham County Police will present Officer Flynn an additional plaque for his extraordinary efforts in reducing impaired driving in Oldham County.
