January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month.
Human trafficking can happen in any community, often hidden in plain sight.

We’re sharing this infographic from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Blue Campaign to help educate the public on warning signs to watch for. Knowing what to look for and speaking up can help prevent human trafficking and protect victims.

The Kentucky State Police remains committed to enforcing the laws of the Commonwealth, investigating these crimes, and working with partners to hold traffickers accountable.

If you suspect human trafficking, report it. You can submit a tip by visiting https://www.kentuckystatepolice.ky.gov/tip or calling 1-800-222-5555. Awareness saves lives.

Kentucky households can apply for LIHEAP Crisis from January 6 to March 27, 2026, to help with heating emergencies during the colder months.

Eligible households with income up to 150% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines and experiencing a heating crisis may qualify for assistance. This program covers heating costs for electric, natural gas, propane, coal, wood, or fuel oil. Benefits are paid directly to the energy vendor, and a disconnect notice, past-due bill, or eviction notice is required to apply.

Assistance received during previous LIHEAP components does not affect eligibility. Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Contact your local Community Action Agency to apply. To find your local outreach office, visit capky.org/network.

Health officials have identified potential measles exposures in Grant County, Kentucky. An unvaccinated, out-of-state traveler stayed at the Holiday Inn & Suites in Dry Ridge from December 28 to 30, 2025 and visited the Ark Encounter on December 29, 2025.
Measles is a highly contagious respiratory virus that can cause serious health complications, especially in young children. Vaccination is the best protection against measles. Immunization against measles comes through the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine.

If you have concerns about exposure to measles, contact your health care provider. To learn more about measles, please visit: www.chfs.ky.gov/agencies/dph/dehp/idb/Pages/measles.aspx
