Regional Training Site Set for Local Law Enforcement
Radcliff, KY · August 16, 2026
Warm morning air is hovering over Lincoln Trail Boulevard early today. With local schools preparing to open their doors this week, neighbors are making the most of a quiet Sunday.
The Lead
Radcliff and Elizabethtown have finalized an interlocal agreement to establish a joint law enforcement training facility on Gaither Station Road. Previously, officers relied on access to the landfill range, where competing schedules with state and federal agencies frequently restricted local qualification hours. By pooling resources, the two cities created a dedicated regional space for tactical instruction, firearms re-certification, and emergency scenarios. Mayor JJ Duvall emphasized that sharing operational costs keeps municipal budgets lean while giving local police consistent access to essential equipment. Groundwork at the property moves into initial site clearing ahead of construction.
