Kentucky State Police Gets New Water Patrol Boat | Lexington News

Kentucky State Police just got a game-changing water asset: a brand-new Metal Shark 23 Relentless patrol boat, the first since 1993. Equipped with police-grade tech, thermal imaging, and sonar, it’s built for high-stakes rescues and flood response — funded by FEMA grants. Governor Beshear says it’ll help protect Kentuckians on the water, while the Special Response Team is already trained to handle emergencies. With over 1,600 miles of waterways, this vessel boosts KSP’s reach and readiness — part of a bigger push that also includes a new armored vehicle for land operations.
