Paducah, Ky. - Kentucky State Rep. Michael Meredith, R-Oakland, has received the Kentucky Association of Chiefs of Police (KACP) Outstanding Legislative Services Award for his support of law enforcement during the 2017 Kentucky General Assembly regular session.
 
Rep. Meredith received the award during the KACP's 2017 Annual Conference, which was held July 24th through July 27th in Paducah.
