Laurel County Sheriff John Root is reporting the Departments statistics in the recent "Click it or Ticket " campaign. The 2 week campaign was May 20th through June 2nd which included Memorial Day Weekend. Deputies made 7 arrests for DUI and 23 other arrests. They also issued 83 seat belt citations, 5 child restraint violations, 88 speeding violations and 415 other traffic violations. No fatal traffic crashes were reported, and no serious injury crashes were investigated.

The Laurel County Detention Center now has a video visitation system for inmates to use. Jail workers can bring video monitors to an inmate's cell instead of bringing an inmate to a visitation area. Officials say this keeps guards from having to move inmates around, and frees up more time for inmates to talk to family and friends. Inmates can now talk to visitors for up to two and a half hours with the new system. Officials say the system will make the facility safer.
