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.

City Commission to Update Address Irregularities

What’s in a name?  A lot if you are trying to find an address to one of Taylor Mill’s orphaned or identically named streets.  Since Pride Parkway (KY16) was built, multiple streets and addressea have been disrupted. Streets such as Robertson Road and Sandman were cut in half and a large portion of Old Taylor Mill Road was simply replaced by Pride Parkway.  Couple that with the duplication of street names left over when Winston Park and Taylor Mill merged, and you get a lot of confusion for anyone who is not a “native”.  The logistical issues for carriers such as UPS and FedEx have been evident from the beginning.  Now the city has experienced an issue with first responders locating an address that does not correspond to the 911 software that the county uses to dispatch.  This is no longer an inconvenience; it is a danger.

While reviewing the various issues caused by the parkway construction, we have also decided to address the issue of the three streets within the city that share the same name.  Those streets will keep their same house number but will have a directional prefix placed before the street name such as North or East to clearly separate it from its twin.  The city will be addressing these inconsistencies over the next few months and plan on having them finalized by February 15, 2021.  All affected homeowners will receive a notice from the city providing their revised address.  This is not a change for the sake of change, it is a proactive step to ensure the health and safety of all Taylor Mill residents.
