Congratulations to Sergeant Wes Catron on his successful completion of the Academy of Police Supervision at the Department of Criminal Justice Training in Richmond, Kentucky.

This intensive three-week program is designed to prepare law enforcement supervisors with the skills and knowledge necessary to lead effectively in today's policing environment. Throughout the academy, Sergeant Catron received advanced training in leadership development, communication, ethical decision-making, personnel management, conflict resolution, team building, officer accountability, and supervisory responsibilities. The course also emphasizes problem-solving strategies and the importance of fostering positive relationships within both the agency and the community.

Sergeant Catron's commitment to professional growth and leadership excellence reflects the high standards of the Georgetown Police Department. His dedication to continuing education not only strengthens his own abilities as a supervisor but also enhances the service we provide to our community.

We are incredibly proud of this accomplishment and look forward to seeing the positive impact Sergeant Catron will continue to make within our department and the Georgetown community!

Georgetown Police Department investigators have recovered more than $80,000 for victims in six states who were targeted by an online fraud scheme.

The investigation remains active, but this recovery highlights the importance of reporting fraud and the value of partnerships between law enforcement agencies.

Please see the attached press release for additional information.

🌧️ 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞, 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐧!

With the upcoming weather in the forecast, it’s a perfect time to remind everyone that the roads require extra caution. We want everyone to reach their destination safely—whether you're headed to work, running errands, or just picking up dinner.

Please keep these tips in mind while you’re out on the road:

𝐒𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧: Rain makes roads slicker than you think. Reducing your speed gives you more time to react to unexpected stops or standing water.

𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: Double the distance you usually keep between yourself and the car in front of you. Stopping distances increase significantly on wet pavement.

𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐎𝐧: If your wipers are on, your headlights should be on, too! This helps other drivers see you, not just to help you see the road.

𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥: Using cruise control during heavy rain can make it harder to maintain control if your vehicle starts to hydroplane.

𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝: Put the phone down and keep both hands on the wheel. Distractions are dangerous enough in dry weather—don't risk it in a storm.

Let’s look out for our neighbors and keep our streets safe. If you see standing water on the road, remember: 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗔𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱, 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗗𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻.

Please join us in congratulating Officers Katelyn Cook and Jonathan Jackson on successfully completing their 12-week Recruit Training Officer Program!

Over the past three months, both officers have worked through a wide variety of calls for service, gaining valuable experience while demonstrating professionalism, dedication, and a strong commitment to serving our community. Throughout the program, they have consistently shown what it means to be hardworking, dependable, and eager to learn.

Their successful completion of this important milestone is a testament to their perseverance and the outstanding effort they have put forth every day.

Please join us in wishing them continued success as they begin this next chapter of their law enforcement careers!

Great job, Officers Cook and Jackson! We are proud to have you as part of the Georgetown Police Department family.

SuN Meals had an incredible turnout for our first distribution day, and we are so grateful to everyone who came out to participate. As with any new program, we do our best to anticipate needs and prepare accordingly. However, sometimes adjustments are necessary to ensure we can serve families as safely and efficiently as possible.

The turnout at Lemons Mill Elementary far exceeded our expectations, which is wonderful news, but it also created some traffic and logistical challenges. We want to be good neighbors and remain respectful of the residents and businesses surrounding our distribution sites. To help address these concerns, we have updated the meal pickup route for Lemons Mill beginning tomorrow, Tuesday, June 16, 2026.

This new traffic pattern will improve efficiency, help reduce congestion, and allow us to better serve our community. Most importantly, it will help ensure that as many children as possible can receive meals each week while maintaining a safe and organized distribution process.

For those who have registered to pick up meals at Lemons Mill Elementary School, please use Lisle Road and enter through the Lisle Road Soccer Complex. The address for this entrance is 564 Lisle Road in Georgetown. Please see the map below.

As a reminder, meals are for children age 18 and under and are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, based on federal guidelines. Meal distribution at Lemons Mill will take place from 4-6pm while supplies last. While we use registration numbers to prepare for each meal distribution, registration does not guarantee that meals will be available when you arrive. To receive meals, you must be in line before the posted end time.

We appreciate everyone's patience, flexibility, and support as we continue to learn and grow this program. Our goal is to meet the needs of our community, and we look forward to serving families throughout the summer.

Thank you to Seven Hills Church for dropping off care packages for our officers and staff. We appreciate your support, generosity, and encouragement. We are grateful to serve such a caring community! ❤️
