January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month.
Human trafficking can happen in any community, often hidden in plain sight.

We’re sharing this infographic from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Blue Campaign to help educate the public on warning signs to watch for. Knowing what to look for and speaking up can help prevent human trafficking and protect victims.

The Kentucky State Police remains committed to enforcing the laws of the Commonwealth, investigating these crimes, and working with partners to hold traffickers accountable.

If you suspect human trafficking, report it. You can submit a tip by visiting https://www.kentuckystatepolice.ky.gov/tip or calling 1-800-222-5555. Awareness saves lives.

🗣️ They Hear You.
Children are always listening — even when we don’t think they are. The way adults talk about alcohol, joke about it, or use it to cope sends powerful messages long before a child ever faces peer pressure.

Talking openly with children about alcohol helps shape how they view it. When adults set clear expectations, share honest conversations, and model healthy coping skills, kids are more likely to delay alcohol use and make safer choices as they grow.

You don’t have to have a perfect speech. Simple, ongoing conversations matter. Your voice, your values, and your example can make a lasting difference.

💬 Start the conversation early.
👂 Listen as much as you talk.
❤️ Remember — they hear you.

🌍 January is National Poverty in America Awareness Month — a time to shine a light on an issue that impacts millions of people across our nation and in our own communities.

📊 National snapshot: Millions of Americans struggle to make ends meet each day, facing challenges like limited access to basic needs and economic opportunity.

📍 Here in Kentucky:
• About 15.6% of Kentuckians live in poverty — higher than the national average.

• Nearly 1 in 5 children in Kentucky lives below the poverty line.

• Child poverty remains a serious concern, with Kentucky ranking among the higher states in the U.S. for the share of children living in economic hardship.

Poverty isn’t just a number — it’s real families, real children, and real struggles with housing, food, education, and opportunity. Awareness is the first step toward compassion, meaningful action, and lasting change.

💙 Let’s use this month to raise awareness, support local efforts, and advocate for policies that help reduce poverty and expand opportunity for all.

Today is National Write to Congress Day — a reminder that your voice matters. Reaching out to your elected officials is one of the simplest ways to advocate for the issues that impact your family, your community, and your future. A letter, email, or phone call can help shape the conversations and decisions happening at every level of government. Civic engagement doesn’t require perfection, only participation.

01/02/2026

Today is Motivation and Inspiration Day, a reminder that progress doesn’t always happen in big, visible moments. Sometimes it’s the quiet decision to keep going, to try again, or to not give up on yourself. Every small step forward matters, even when no one else sees it. Be proud of how far you’ve come and gentle with yourself as you continue the journey. 💛

🚗💔 December is National Impaired Driving Prevention Month

Every year across the U.S., far too many lives are lost because someone got behind the wheel while impaired. In 2023 alone, 12,429 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes — that’s roughly one life every 42 minutes.

Even a small amount of alcohol or drugs can impair judgment, reaction time, and vision. That’s why prevention matters — especially during holiday gatherings, celebrations, and travel.

📍 What’s going on in Kentucky

In 2023, the state recorded 814 total traffic deaths — and 177 of those were due to drivers impaired by alcohol.

That means over 1 out of 5 roadway fatalities in Kentucky involved impaired driving.

Alarmingly, recent data shows that DUI fatalities in Kentucky jumped 12.5% from 2022 to 2023 — even as nationwide drunk-driving fatalities dropped.

✅ What we can do — and what you can do

Plan ahead when celebrating — designate a sober driver, call a ride-share, or stay overnight instead of driving.

Speak up: if you see someone impaired and trying to drive, offer help or call for a safe ride.

Share the message: one post, one conversation, one decision can save lives.

Support education and prevention — awareness is the first step to safer roads.

Let’s make this December a time of celebration and responsibility.
Drive sober. Stay safe. Make it home. 💙
