  • State Police, Department of Kentucky
    Kentucky State Police Records Retention Schedule Prepared by the State Records Branch Archives and Records Management Division Approved by the State Libraries, Archives, and Records Commission This records retention schedule governs retention and disposal of records created, used and maintained by the Kentucky State Police. Government records in Kentucky can only be disposed of with the approval of the State Libraries, Archives, and Records Commission (the Commission). If records do not appear on a Commission-approved records retention schedule, agencies should not destroy those records. This agency-specific schedule was drafted by Kentucky State Police personnel and Archives and Records Management Division staff, and reviewed and approved by the Commission. This schedule provides the legal authority for the Kentucky State Police to destroy the records listed, after the appropriate retention periods have passed. Kentucky State Police personnel should use this agency-specific schedule in combination with the General Schedule for State Agencies (General Schedule), also approved by the Commission. The General Schedule applies to records that are created, used and maintained by staff at all or most state agencies. Agency-specific retention schedules are used only by specific agencies and apply to records that are created only by a particular state agency, or to records that a state agency is required to retain longer than the approved time period on the General Schedule. The General Schedule and agency-specific retention schedule should cover all records for Kentucky State Police. This retention schedule applies to state agency records and information regardless of how it is created or stored. For example, information created and sent using e-mail is as much a public record as materials created or maintained in paper.

    PUBLIC SAFETY The Impact of Terrorism on State Law Enforcement By Chad Foster and Gary Cordner Traditionally, state-level law enforcement has represented about 10 percent of total police employment in the United States. In keeping with this employment level, state law enforcement has traditionally played an important, but relatively small role in the overall picture of policing America. The information collected for this project, however, indicates an expanding role for state law enforcement since 2001, partly due to new roles and responsibilities associated with homeland security, and partly because state police are filling gaps and vacuums created by shifts in federal law enforcement priorities. Thus, while it is true that all types of police agencies have been significantly affected post Sept. 11, it seems that state law enforcement agencies have been affected the most. In recent years, Arizona established the Arizona tablished in 1835.2 Most state agencies, however, are Counter Terrorism Information Center, a combined relatively new.
