During the Tuesday, Feb. 21, Jessamine County Fiscal Court meeting, the court had a packed agenda and made a major decision about constables’ usage of blue police lights.

In some counties throughout America, constables are able to use blue police lights. Before this meeting, constables in Jessamine County were able to use blue lights. The fiscal court ruled that constables will no longer have this ability, attributing it mainly to constables’ lack of police training.

The court may revisit this decision and change its vote at any time.
