Hopkinsville Police conducted another successful warrants detail Tuesday.

A news release says Warrants Officer John Bracey and three other members of the department conducted a day-long intensive warrants detail in which they focused their efforts on serving as many warrants and summonses as possible.

Twelve people would be arrested in the serving of 16 warrants and summonses. Police say there is a distinctive correlation between people wanted on warrants on other crimes and their committing new crimes before being located.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell recognized Kentucky law enforcement on the Senate floor this morning before meeting with a group of officers as part of National Police Week.

Senator McConnell remembered Hodgenville Police Officer Mark Taubee, who died in a vehicle pursuit last September, and Marion County Sheriff's Deputy Anthony Rakes—who was shot to death during a traffic stop in November.

Senator McConnell says there would be no peace without the men and women who put their lives on the line every day in the name of the law.

509 known men and women of law enforcement have died in the line of duty in Kentucky history and their names will all be on the state's police memorial in Richmond by the end of the week.
