0:36
April thirteenth, twenty twenty five. On April tenth, twenty twenty five,
0:41
Kentucky State Police or KSP Electronic Crime Branch, arrested Joseph
0:46
Timothy Graves, fifty three, on charges related to child sexual
0:50
abuse material. Graves was arrested as a result of an
0:54
undercover Internet Crimes against Children investigations. A KSP Electronic Crime
0:59
Brank Branch begin the investigation after discovering the suspect sharing
1:03
images of child's sexual exploitation online. The investigation resulted in
1:09
a search warrant in Springfield on April tenth, twenty twenty five.
1:13
Equipment used to facilitate the crime was seized and taken
1:16
to a forensic laboratory for examination. The investigation is ongoing.
1:21
Graves is currently charged with ten counts of distribution of
1:25
matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor under twelve
1:28
years old. These charges are class y felonies punishable by
1:32
five to ten years in prison. Graves was lodged in
1:35
the Marion County Detention Center. He was scheduled for arraignment
1:39
in Washington County on Monday, April fourteenth. The Kentucky Internet
1:44
Crimes Against Children, or ICAC Task Force is comprised of
1:49
more than twenty six local, state, and federal law enforcement agency.
1:53
The mission of the ICAC Task Force, created by the
1:56
United States Department of Justice and administered by the Kentucky
2:00
State Police, is to assist state and local law enforcement
2:03
agencies in developing a response to cyber enticement and child
2:08
sexual abuse material investigation. This support encompasses forensic investigative components,
2:14
training and technical assistance, victim services, prevention, and community education.
2:21
The ICAC program was developed in response to the increasing
2:25
number of children and teenagers using the Internet, the proliferation
2:30
of child sexual abuse material, and the heightened online activity
2:34
of predators searching for unsupervised conduct, contacts with underage victims
2:42
nine one one, Where Is Your Emergency? By Jane Reid Kline,
2:46
April sixteenth, twenty twenty five. There is no typical day
2:50
for the men and women in staff the Washington County
2:53
nine to one one Dispatch Center, and with April fourteenth
2:57
through the eighteenth designated National Telecommunity Paters Week, everyone should
3:01
understand and appreciate the dedicated men and women who answer
3:06
the calls and get help on the way. In twenty
3:08
twenty one, The Sun did the story about the dispatch team.
3:12
We are revisiting and updating that story about the first
3:15
line of first responders. Quote. It can be really quiet,
3:19
the twenty four year veteran dispatcher Letitia Cano, quote, but
3:24
it can turn in an instant end of quote. Quote.
3:28
It's exciting because you never know what you're going to get,
3:31
said dispatch director Danny Kropt. You can have one day
3:34
where you don't have hardly anything, but then you have
3:36
another day when you have a shooting, arrest, a house fire, anything,
3:41
end of quote. Quote. If you are calling nine to
3:44
one one, chances are you are not going to be
3:47
in a good mood. Krop said, something's going on. You've
3:51
witnessed a car accident, your house is on fire, you
3:54
have a child joking, someone's done shot somebody. This is
3:58
all stuff that has happened. It's all stuff. Everybody here
4:01
is dispatched. So whenever you call nine one one, we
4:05
know you are going to be upset. And to quote,
4:09
we have to listen to bad dames, Crouch said, we
4:12
have to listen to people die on the phone. We
4:14
sometimes it is very rare, but we hear gunshots on
4:17
the phone. We hear people fighting on the phone. We
4:20
hear a lot of hard stuff and it can take
4:23
its told. And to quote, he also said that because
4:26
of the Thames dispatchers here, counseling is available to them
4:29
through a designated chaplain. Quote. I took a call last year.
4:34
I can't go into the specifics of that call that
4:36
it brought about some TTSBA personally, Crouch said in twenty
4:40
twenty one, I had to talk about it. I had
4:43
to Some of this stuff you just can't hold in.
4:46
You have to talk about it. You have to deal
4:48
with it or it's going to eat at you. Sometimes
4:51
calls don't turn out the way we want them to.
4:54
We do everything we can and it still turns out bad.
4:57
That's just a harsh reality that if this seems we
5:00
do everything we can. All of us here love what
5:03
we do. We love being a part of it. It's
5:05
a very very rewarding job when things go right and
5:08
you know you have made a difference. But it can
5:11
also be stressful when you know you've done everything you
5:14
possibly can and it is still about outcomes, which is
5:17
very possible. End of quote, he said, quote The incident
5:22
starts the minute we say nine one one, Where is
5:25
your emergency? The most important piece of information on any
5:28
nine to one one call is where you are sent. Crush.
5:32
If there is only one thing you can get out
5:34
of your mouth, it needs to be your location. We
5:37
can't get help to you unless we know where you are.
5:40
End of quote. Then the dispatcher begins painting a picture
5:44
of what is happening on the other end of the
5:46
phone line. Quote. Because we can't directly see what is
5:49
going on, we have to paint a picture in our
5:52
heads based on what the caller gives us and what
5:54
information we can ask for. Some people get really upset
5:58
with us because we ask a lot of questions. Crops
6:01
said that is our primary job. I know that it
6:04
can be frustrating to answer a bunch of questions when
6:07
you're having your worst day. End of quote. He explained,
6:11
quote whenever you're adrenaline is rushing, it hinders your ability
6:15
to think clearly. So we use a technique called repetitive persistence,
6:19
which is asking the same question over and over again
6:22
to get this caller to communicate with us as effectively
6:25
as possible. For dispatchers, we can only go off what
6:29
is told to us. That is why we ask so
6:31
many questions. We need to get as much information as
6:35
possible to protect our responders and to protect you when
6:38
you call nine to one long. Depending on the circumstances
6:41
of your situation, we have a set of guidelines to
6:44
follow on every nine to one one call, especially for
6:47
violent situations. What we are telling you could ultimately be
6:51
the difference between a good ending and a bad ending
6:55
end of quote. Crop said. He went on to say, quote,
6:59
there are places in this county that it takes an
7:01
ambulance thirty minutes to get to it. So if you've
7:04
got somebody way out on lick Stillet Road, which is
7:07
about as far out as you can go in Washington County.
7:10
It literally takes an ambulance thirty minutes from Spreamfield to
7:14
get to Lick Skillet Road. You've got to meeting contact
7:18
with that caller. If you've got somebody down and you're
7:20
giving them CTR instructions. We are giving CPR instructions for
7:24
thirty minutes while answering the radio, while doing all this stuff.
7:28
It is a very multitasking job. You have to be
7:32
fluent in multitasking to be a dispatcher. You have to
7:35
do multiple things at once and to plot. Cloud said,
7:38
one of the hardest parts of the job for him
7:41
is not having closure on what happened. Quote, we don't
7:44
know what happens to these people, who said another thing,
7:48
if you're a dispatcher and you live here in Springfield,
7:51
you are more than likely going to take a call
7:53
for someone you are close to, your family members, your
7:56
loved one, something like that. I took a nine one
7:59
one call my best friends Scott Patton was killed. I
8:02
had known Scott since I was a child. We've been
8:04
best friends all throughout the years. That was hard. I
8:08
didn't know he had been killed until I already had
8:10
the leave here. One of our dispatchers dispatched her own
8:14
brother who got killed in a car accident. She didn't
8:16
know about it until officers came in here and said, hey,
8:20
you need to go, and we have help here. Someone
8:22
will take over the console. We can't leave if we
8:26
are the only one working here. We can't leave periods.
8:29
So when we do take a call about someone we love,
8:31
someone we are close to, it's difficult, but we have
8:35
to hold it over until someone comes in here and
8:37
relieves us and to close Krout said, most of the
8:41
officers know who the dispatcher's family members are, and we'll
8:44
make sure someone in the dispatch center is there to
8:47
take over before informing them of what happened. He also
8:51
said sometimes dispatchers know wele on the phone that it
8:53
is someone they are close to, and he tries to
8:56
get that dispatcher off the console as quickly as possible.
9:00
Cropps has served as a dispatcher for thirteen years starting
9:03
in twenty twelve, and promoted and was promoted to captain
9:07
in twenty seventeen. He talked about how and why he
9:11
became a dispatcher. Quote, being a dispatcher was not something
9:15
I really wanted to do growing up. My dad was
9:17
the sixty first certified paramedic ever in the state of Kentucky.
9:22
I grew up with it. I grew up with emergency responses.
9:25
He was a volunteer firefighter for the Washington County Fire
9:28
Department for many years when I was growing up. I
9:31
remember getting up in the middle of the night hearing
9:33
his pagris go off and watching him steet away with
9:36
those life and sirens. I wanted to do that. I
9:39
wanted to do something to help people. I pursued a
9:42
career in AMS. I wanted to be an EMP, but
9:46
unfortunately that didn't work out. And I think it was
9:48
a blessing in disguise, because that is what has led
9:51
you to this job. Crowps said. It is something I
9:54
fell in love with very quickly. It is not something
9:57
I saw myself doing. But we truly help you, he said,
10:01
quote but the little tough in the beginning, because you're
10:03
so overwhelmed with information. A lot of people look at
10:07
the dispatch console and think it is intimidating, and it
10:10
can be. But the more you do it, the easier
10:12
it becomes. Kentucky has some of the best dispatcher training
10:16
in the nation. Crowch added, you can't get enough training
10:19
and a quote Crops noted, quote, we're getting busier and
10:23
the severity of our calls is getting worse too. End
10:27
of quotes. The center excepts nine to one one calls
10:30
for all of Washington County. Quote, we dispatch for seven agencies,
10:35
Crowd said, Springfield Police, Washington County Sheriff's Office, Washington County Emas,
10:41
all three fire departments Spremsfield, Willisburg and Mackville, and Washington
10:47
County Rescue. If you want to count the jailer Service,
10:50
which we do deal with them too, that is eight
10:54
agencies we dispatched for. And to quote, Crouch talked a
10:59
little bit about some of the recent improvements to the
11:01
nine to one one center. Quote. Rapid SOS is a
11:05
free software we were able to receive basically for people
11:09
who have newer phones. It will tie into our software.
11:12
When you call nine one one, it will pinpoint your
11:14
location and we can track you. A lot of people
11:17
come through Washington County that have no idea where they are,
11:20
so we can utilize our mapping system as well as
11:23
rapid SOS to find you. It is a really useful tool.
11:27
Kevin Devine did his grants nance Magic and got us
11:30
a grant, which is awesome quote end a quotes. With
11:34
that grant, the dispatch center replaced a decade old server.
11:37
This new one makes it easier to log into the
11:40
CAD system from anywhere on a virtual private network or VPN.
11:45
Quote anywhere there is internet. We log into a VPN
11:49
and we can access the CAD system. With our newer
11:52
equipment that we have gotten over the years, we are
11:54
able to more easily evacuate the center for any reason
11:58
and to quote corrupt said the CD Computer Assisted Dispatch
12:03
Quote the CAAD, the Computer Assisted Dispatch is the central
12:07
center for anything dispatch related, all of our notes, all
12:11
of our unit numbers, response times, anything like that. It
12:15
is the brain. Whenever we print out a report on
12:18
an accident, it comes from the CAAD. It is a
12:21
vital piece of equipment that we need besides the phone,
12:24
because we can't dispatch without the phone. It is the
12:27
most important piece of equipment in dispatch because it tracks everything,
12:31
absolutely everything into quote crowds that the local dispatchers are
12:36
grateful for the appreciation shown to dispatchers in this by
12:40
the community. Quote. Dispatchers are forgotten a lot of the time.
12:44
The people are on the scene. They get to see
12:46
the ambulance, they get to see the fireworks they get
12:49
or the fire trucks. It's us. They get to see
12:51
the police car, they get to see the action. But
12:54
the dispatcher, as soon as they hang up that phone,
12:57
they forget about the dispatchers completely. There are some people
13:00
who don't forget, but usually in the grand schema chains,
13:03
the dispatcher is at the bottom and to quotes. In
13:07
twenty twenty one, the Dispatch Center was located in the
13:10
Springfield Police Department and was under the direction of the
13:13
police Team. However, the center completed total separation from the
13:17
Springfield Police Department with the move into a new dispatch
13:20
center in twenty twenty three that thought about new non
13:24
emergency contacts for both the police Department and the Dispatch Center,
13:28
and new leadership for the dispatchers. The Dispatch Center is
13:32
now a separate entity governed by the Public Safety Answering
13:35
Point Board. It is now under the leadership of Crouch
13:38
and Dispatch Board Director Kevin Devine. Divine also serves as
13:42
director of the Washington County Emergency Management. The team brings
13:47
years of experience and knowledge to the news center crowd
13:50
was responsible for the day to day management of the center.
13:53
He explained, the news center has more space quote, with
13:56
room to grow if we ever need to add another console.
14:00
The whole organizational structure is better, Crops says Answering to
14:04
the PSAP board instead of the police chief is better.
14:08
The police chief is not a dispatcher and doesn't always
14:11
understand the needs of our people and the demands of
14:14
our jobs and of quotes. While house of the Springstild
14:17
Police Department dispatcher served as receptionists for the police department
14:22
and assisted with routine office duty, they no longer perform
14:25
those duties. Quote. We can now lay our focus on
14:29
our duties. Since we are not dealing with the public,
14:32
our attention is not stolen from nine one one. We
14:35
can focus on giving life saving pre arrival instructions and
14:39
of quote. The dispatch center is funded due a small
14:43
charge added to all water bills throughout the county, in
14:46
addition to funding from both the City of Springfield and
14:50
the Washington County Physical Courts. Apartment complex fire quickly contained
15:00
by Jane Recline April sixteenth to twenty twenty five. Residents
15:04
of the apartments on Amrie Hill and Deepostry were temporarily
15:08
evacuated on Friday afternoon when a fire broke out in
15:12
a complex. EMS was first on the scene. We were
15:15
in the bay area of the EMS building when we
15:18
heard it, said Keisha Harmon, she in West England. Responded
15:23
and found fire in the laundry room. They grabbed fire
15:26
extinguishers and had the fire out before firefighters arrived. Firefighters
15:31
on the scene said the fire started in one of
15:33
the dryers and thanks to the quick action by Harmon
15:36
and England, was contained to that dryer and did not
15:39
spread into the buildings. After the fire, some of the
15:42
experienced firefighters and other first responders reminisced about another fire
15:47
at that location in the early nineteen eighty. At that time,
15:51
the space Awall Dpostry was home to a tobacco redryer company.
15:56
They said the redryer fire was the worst fire in
15:59
Springville hit Street. They said the Springfield blaundry fire on
16:03
High Street was a distant second in comparison. Attorney to

Lebanon Police chief assaulted by a juvenile by Dennis House
25:39
Packs and Media group. An incident that occurred on April
25:42
third in the parking lot as the Lebanon Police Department
25:45
resulted in the police chiefs to stating significant injuries and
25:49
a juvenile arrested. Chief Grey Young suffered a possible orbital fracture,
25:54
a jaw fracture, and a broken nose after a juvenile
25:58
Mail punched him in the face with his fis. Young
26:01
was taken to the Springview Hospital for treatment before being
26:04
transferred to the University of Louisville for further evaluation. The
26:09
incident started with a disturbance at a residents and the
26:12
juvenile was taken into custody. The altercation happened when he
26:16
was taken to the police department. The juvenile Mail was
26:19
taken into custody as a scene and charged with second
26:22
degree assault. Due to his age, his identity has not
26:25
been released. Young was scheduled to have surgery at uabilit
26:29
either the end of last week or early this week.
26:32
Officer Patrick Falkin is in charge of the investigation. Real
26:38
ID deadline nears. Is what you need to know by
26:42
Senator Jimmy Hidden, Kentucky, and it's time for a reminder
26:45
about the upcoming real ID deadline on May seventh. The
26:49
deadline has been talked about for years, but it is
26:52
finally nearing. A Senate Transportation Chair, I've been involved in
26:56
this process. I know it has not been enjoyable for
26:58
many people working with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and Secretary
27:02
Jim Gray. I know how important information on this topic
27:06
is and driver's license services included. So before the deadline,
27:10
I'm sharing helpful information you might consider. If you plan
27:14
to board a domestic flight, visit a US military base,
27:18
or enter certain federal facilities after May seventh, you'll need
27:22
a federally accepted form of ID. The good news is
27:25
you have options. A real ID is not required for everyone.
27:29
If you do not plan to fly commercially, enter a
27:32
military installation like Court Knox, or visit certain federal buildings
27:36
such as the White House, you do not need a
27:38
real ID. This federal, not state requirement originated from national
27:44
security efforts following nine eleven. You do not need a
27:48
real ID to access the veterans affairs via hospitals, enter
27:52
a Social Security office, or visit a federal courthouse. Many
27:57
assume they must get a real ID drivers license to
28:00
comply with the federal law, but that's not the only
28:03
way to need the requirements. This concludes excerpts from recent
28:09
editions of The Springfield Sun. Your leader has been Amy

Jon's Timothy on behalf of Everyone's Here Radioize. Thank you

for listening, keep on listening, and have a good day.
