We are proud to announce that Captain Jakop Smith has successfully graduated from the Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice Training Academy of Police Supervision
(APS) on Friday, May 15th. Chief Robert Toombs, Sergeant David Hutcheson, and Captain Smith’s family attended the ceremony Friday.

The APS program is a highly respected leadership course designed for law enforcement supervisors, focusing on critical skills such as ethical decision-making, problem solving, situational leadership, and effective communication-tools essential for leading both officers and the community.
This three-week program prepares leaders to meet the ever-changing challenges of modern law enforcement and to better serve their agencies and communities.

We are proud of Captain Smith’s commitment to professional development and leadership. His continued dedication to growth strengthens not only our department, but the service we provide to our community every day.
