Taylor Mill Police Department Receives Fifth Consecutive CALEA Accreditation: The Taylor Mill Police Department is proud to announce that it has been awarded its fifth accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA). The CALEA accreditation is a rigorous process that involves meeting a comprehensive set of professional standards designed to enhance the delivery of public safety services. Achieving accreditation requires demonstrating compliance with policies and procedures across critical areas, including accountability, transparency, and community engagement. Chief James Mills emphasized the significance of this accomplishment, stating, “Earning our fifth CALEA accreditation is a reflection of the dedication and professionalism of our officers and staff. This process ensures that we uphold the highest standards in law enforcement, which translates to safer neighborhoods and stronger trust with the community we serve.” According to Chief Mills, maintaining CALEA accreditation is vital for the Taylor Mill Police Department because it provides a framework for continuous improvement. “Accreditation helps us align our practices with the best in the field, ensuring that we stay proactive and responsive to the evolving needs of our residents. It’s not just about recognition; it’s about delivering the quality of service our community deserves.” The Taylor Mill Police Department first achieved CALEA accreditation in 2010, and this milestone marks its fifth consecutive accreditation cycle. The department is among a select group of agencies nationwide to receive this distinction, and one of only three in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, reinforcing its position as a leader in law enforcement excellence. The Taylor Mill Police Department extends its gratitude to the community for their support and partnership, which are essential to achieving this honor. The department remains committed to fostering transparency, building trust, and ensuring public safety for all.

New Speed Limit for Taylor Mill Road

Taylor Mill Residents

I am pleased to announce that after almost two years requesting the speed limit reduction, the City of Taylor Mill Commission received approval from The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) to reduce the speed limit on Taylor Mill Road, KY 3716, to 35 mph.

The city has submitted the necessary paperwork to KYTC accepting the new speed limit.   The state will now set a date to begin making the necessary sign changes.  We are not sure when this will take place, so we want to get the word out that it is forthcoming. 

The commission hopes this reduction in speed limit will create a safer pedestrian walkway.   This speed limit reduction will enhance safety and the walkability for our residents.  It is important to note that in 2021 the city will receive an OKI Grant of $846,000.00 to complete the extension of the sidewalks all the way to the Trifecta Building.  This will make the city a much safer and more walkable community.   The construction of the sidewalks along Taylor Mill Road is just one way the Commission is working to improve our city.
