Kentucky State Police executed over $1.5 million in drug seizures during the month of November.

Gov. Andy Beshear said the total value of KSP’s drug seizures in November was over $1.6 million. November marks the highest dollar value of drug seizures made in one month by KSP during 2023.

In total, troopers this year made 3,121 drug-related arrests, according to Beshear, with the total value of drugs seized over $8 million.

“Thank you to the Kentucky State Police for your impressive work in battling illegal drugs. Because of you, dangerous drugs are off the streets and the commonwealth has been made safer,” Beshear said. “This work is never-ending, and we will continue fighting this drug crisis with everything that we can because, as I’ve said time and time again, one Kentuckian lost to drug overdose is one too many.”
