The Kentucky Association of Chiefs of Police gave its Outstanding Legislative Service Award to local state Sen. Robby Mills on Tuesday.
Mills was awarded for his advocacy of Kentucky law enforcement during the 2026 General Assembly, a press release from Mills’ office said.
“Our law enforcement officers put themselves on the line every day to protect our families, neighborhoods and communities, and they deserve to know that we have their backs in Frankfort,” Mills said in the release. “Throughout my time in the legislature, I have been proud to listen to the men and women on the front lines and advocate for policies that support the important work they do. Strong law enforcement is essential to keeping our communities safe, and I remain committed to ensuring our officers have the resources, support and tools they need to do their jobs safely and effectively.”
Shawn Butler, the executive director of the Kentucky Association of Chiefs of Police, praised Mills’ advocacy during the 2026 legislative session.
“Sen. Robby Mills has been a steadfast partner to Kentucky’s law enforcement community,” Butler said. “His willingness to listen, engage and take action on issues that matter to our officers made him a clear choice for this recognition. We are grateful for his leadership and continued support of public safety across the Commonwealth.”
