Billy Poole was a man who wore many hats, and he wore them all with honor. Throughout his life and career, he faced challenges head-on—serving bravely across law enforcement, the fire service, and acting as a fierce advocate for his community. To those of us on the other end of the radio, Billy wasn't just a unit number on a screen. He was a trusted protector on the scene, a dedicated public servant, and above all, a wonderful friend. No matter how tough the shift, knowing Billy was out there brought a sense of comfort to us all.Our thoughts, love, and deepest prayers go out to his family, friends, and everyone in the first responder community who is grieving this immense loss. Billy you will be deeply missed.

SCAM ALERT PLEASE READ AND SHARE

The Logan County Detention Center wants to make the public aware of a scam that is currently targeting family members and loved ones of incarcerated individuals.

We have received reports that unknown individuals and an individual that goes by Lt. Brown are contacting people by phone and falsely claiming to work for the detention center, the court system, or law enforcement. These callers are telling victims that they can secure the release of an incarcerated individual if a payment is made immediately over the telephone.

THIS IS A SCAM.

To be absolutely clear:

The Logan County Detention Center will NEVER request bond payments over the telephone.

We will NEVER ask for payment through Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, gift cards, wire transfers, cryptocurrency, prepaid debit cards, or any electronic payment method over the phone.

We will NEVER contact family members demanding immediate payment for someone’s release.

We will NEVER threaten, pressure, or intimidate anyone into making a payment.

The ONLY legitimate ways to post a bond are:

In person at the detention center
At the Logan County Justice Center during normal business hour

If you receive a suspicious phone call:

• Do not provide personal information
• Do not provide banking or debit/credit card information
• Do not send money electronically
• Hang up immediately
• Contact the detention center directly to verify any information

Scammers often use fear, urgency, and emotional pressure to trick people into acting quickly. They may know the name of an incarcerated person or use spoofed phone numbers to make the call appear legitimate. Just because a caller sounds official or has information about an inmate does not mean the call is real.

We encourage everyone to share this post so our community can stay informed and help protect others from becoming victims of fraud.

If you believe you have received one of these scam calls or may have been victimized, please report it to local law enforcement immediately.

The safety and trust of our community are extremely important to us, and we appreciate your help in spreading awareness.

Had a good time at the Strawberry Festival today. Class D inmates and Deputy Rachael Sweeney did a fabulous job on the trailer.

If anyone gets a call or message like this it is a scam. It is not anyone at the Logan County Detention Center.

Once again I want to say a really big thank you to all the jail staff that have been working every day through this winter storm. We have had deputies driving back and forth to Bowling Green every day since Friday to work hospital duty. We have had deputies sleeping at the jail so they don’t have to commute in this mess. We have had staff going and getting deputies bringing them back and forth to work. Our jailer has been there everyday also providing transportation to deputies and making sure we have had everything we need. We were very lucky that we had no power outages and only minor maintenance issues. All inmates have been kept safe,secure, and fed. And we couldn’t do this without the great staff we have. We know your dedication can go unnoticed by some but we greatly appreciate your dedication and respect for this job.

As inclement weather approaches here in Logan County we would like everyone to know the Logan County Detention Center is ready to handle the situation. Our deputies are prepared to work extended hours if need be and we are truly blessed to have their dedication. We are ready for any power outage that may occur and we are prepared to handle details for off site coverage as normal. We would like to thank all of our working deputies and medical staff for their dedication to the safety and security of our facility and for their preparedness to be away from thier families in this winter storm. Everyone please be safe out there.

We would like to give a special thanks to Chad Cardwell and Mike Ford from Kentucky Christian Recovery for donating 3 cases of brand new bibles. Both of these gentlemen spoke at our revival. Since our revival we have been giving out bibles to inmates and it’s been hard to keep up with the demand. This will be a huge blessing to all our inmates and this generous donation is very much appreciated.
