MADISONVILLE, Ky (WEHT) – Kentucky senator Rand Paul visited Madisonville Monday to tour the new police training facility.

Paul was able to see some of the training and simulations firsthand. He says he was impressed by the real-life scenarios they went through and says it’s important to remember how stressful situations can be for police officers.

“We’ve seen nationwide these tragedies in schools or sometimes people hung back and didn’t go in soon enough, and what I heard today was the Madisonville Police is trained to go in immediately as soon as they hear the shots to try to save people inside,” he said.

Paul also commented on the work needed to limit repeat offenders.
