A message from Chief Clayton Sumner Now that the elections are officially complete. I want to send a special congratulations to two, about to be former Hopkinsville Police Officers. I want to publicly congratulate HPD Officer Jason Barnes and HPD Lieutenant Tyler DeArmond.

Police want to make citizens aware of a scam we were contacted on. The person calling us said they received a call from a subject pretending to be a family member in another state. The family member told them they had been arrested out of town and asked for a substantial amount of money to get out of jail. The family member told the victim not to tell anyone and even had a female posing as a police officer get on the phon. This female also told the victim not to tell anyone. The victim was then told to send cash through a postal service to another location. If you encounter a situation like this, please know they should not ask you to send cash and they won't tell you to keep the issue quiet. If you encounter a situation like this please verify the information first or contact someone to help verify the information provided to you.
