Save Lives.

After implementing Local Heroes, Kentucky’s seat belt usage rate increased from 86.8 percent to 89.6 percent.
One hundred ten law enforcement agencies have participated in the Local Heroes campaign since 2017.
Forty-four counties have been represented in the Local Hero campaign since in 2017.
