Glasgow Police Officer wins Governor’s Occupant Protection Award

GLASGOW, Ky. – Buckling up when you get behind the wheel is paramount to a motorist’s safety, and one officer has done an outstanding job for the Glasgow Police Department in 2023.

Patrol officer Jeffrey Childress wrote 96 citations for improper usage of seatbelts, car seats or boosters seats, which could have possibly saved 96 lives.

Childress said you never know what could happen next, so every ticket is important.

Childress said even more importantly, as a parent, you should be taking extra care behind the wheel.
