Sheriff seeks approval of 2025 jail policy manual including new K-9 section; formal vote not recorded
Summary
The sheriff presented the 2025 jail policy and procedure manual, noting the addition of a K-9 section based on Kentucky Department of Corrections guidance and asked the court to approve it; transcript contains no recorded vote.
The sheriff told the court he had emailed the judge executive and the county attorney a 381-page jail policy and procedure manual and asked the court to approve the 2025 manual, which includes a newly added canine (K-9) policy section.
The sheriff said the manual largely mirrors last year's document but contains the K-9 section and that the file is a searchable PDF for ease of review. He said the K-9 section is drawn from the Kentucky Department of Corrections policy and that jail inspectors typically request a copy of the annual policy manual during inspections.
The sheriff asked the court: “Has your policy and procedure manual been approved? And that's what I'm asking for today is that you approve the 2025 policy and procedure manual with the addition of the k 9 section that was added.” The transcript does not record a motion, second, or vote on that request.
The sheriff also provided standard jail statistics (state inmates: 68; county inmates: 36).
