Sheriff Rodney Scott & staff extend heartfelt condolences to the family, loved ones & fellow officers of Trooper Hayden Phillips.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God"~ Matthew 5:9

Today, we face one of the most difficult moments an agency can endure as we announce the loss of one of our own. Trooper Hayden Phillips, Unit 369, made the ultimate sacrifice while
patrolling I-65 in Warren County. He was assigned to Post 3 Bowling Green and was a graduate of Cadet Class 103. His dedication to duty and commitment to the commonwealth will not
be forgotten.
Our hearts break for Trooper Phillips’ family, loved ones, and fellow troopers as we grieve this tremendous loss. We will carry his memory with us, honor the life he lived and the badge he wore, and stand together as an agency to support this family in the days ahead.
-Colonel Phillip Burnett, Jr.

🚨 Pike County Schools Safety PSA 🚨
Pike County Sheriff's Office-KY

PLEASE SHARE

Pike County Schools will return to session on Thursday morning, August 6, 2026. As buses, parents, and teenage drivers get back on the road, we’re asking everyone in our community to slow down, stay alert, and help keep our students safe.

🚍 New Kentucky School Bus Law
A new statewide bus‑safety law is now in effect.
Drivers must stop for a school bus with its stop arm out and red lights flashing on nearly every roadway, including most four‑lane roads.
Only roads with a physical barrier or unpaved median separating traffic allow the opposite direction to continue moving.

If you’re unsure whether a roadway qualifies, play it safe and stop.

🚗 Heavier Traffic Expected
Not all students ride the bus. Morning and afternoon traffic will be heavier with:

Parents dropping off and picking up students

Teen drivers traveling to and from school

Increased congestion around school zones and intersections

⏰ Plan Ahead & Drive Considerately
Leave early to avoid rushing

Stay patient in school‑zone congestion

Watch for students crossing roads, walking to bus stops, or exiting vehicles

Be understanding — everyone is trying to get students to school safely

Your caution protects our kids.
Let’s make the first day — and every day — a safe one for Pike County students.
