through the State would boost existing restaurant and hospitality industries by allowing customers to
take to-go alcoholic drinks in designated cups from participating businesses and stroll our historic
streets, browse the windows of our local boutiques, watch the towboats on the river, and partake in
outdoor events. This could be in place by summer.

districts and public universities to address high-priority preparedness gaps in order to prevent, protect against,
mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. In 2018, the City of Paducah received $117,582 for the
purchase of four (4) bomb suits for the Police Department’s FBI Certified Bomb Squad. In 2019, the City
received $442,181.76 for an EOD Robot. In 2020, the City received $314,450 for Radio Upgrades.
For the 2021 KOHS funding cycle, the Paducah Police Department is seeking funding to purchase an X-Ray
system that would allow bomb techs the ability to remotely view high-definition X-Ray images of suspected
explosive devices from longer ranges and with greater detail. The system will reduce bomb tech exposure to
hazardous devices by limiting the time spent near a device. This system will replace the current X-Ray that was
purchased through a grant 12 years ago. The current system is no longer supported and has reached the end of
its shelf-life. There is no match for this grant.
