Officials break ground for training facility honoring chief deputy Jody Cash

RICHMOND, Ky. – Gov. Andy Beshear broke ground Monday in Richmond on a new law enforcement training facility.

The building is named in honor of Jody Cash, who lost his life in the line of duty on May 16, 2022 while serving as chief deputy of the Calloway County Sheriff’s Office.

The Jody Cash multipurpose training facility will be over 42,000 square feet with a 50-yard, 30-lane firing range designed for officers to learn intensive and specialized training.

Warren County sheriff Brett Hightower attended the groundbreaking and said “it was an honor” to meet Cash’s family.

According to the Warren County Sheriff’s Office, Cash was a 22-year law enforcement veteran and retired from the Kentucky State Police as a sergeant.

Construction is expected to be completed in 2025.
