Last week, the Corbin City Commission approved a motion that gets the wheels rolling on a project that brings a mental health specialist onboard the Corbin City Police Department. Via this column, I would like to tip my cap to not only Corbin City officials, but to Marcy Rein and her staff at the Whitley County Health Department for getting this done, as well.
Rein said the project was in response to drug users and those with mental health issues cycling through our local judicial systems. And while itâs not certain this project and installing a mental health specialist into the police force will make a huge impact on interrupting that cycle, I am optimistic that it might. After all, it has worked in other communities.

WHITLEY COUNTYâThe Whitley County Sheriffâs Office released the department s year-end review, as Sheriff Toddy Shelley looks back at 2020 and the work his department has done in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
âAs the year 2020 comes to a close, our department wanted to thank the community for the overwhelming support that we have received this year,â Shelley stated in the report.
In December alone, the sheriffâs office arrested approximately 80 people on mostly theft and drug-related charges, while also working numerous collisions and criminal cases.
Shelley said the employees of the sheriffâs office worked each day throughout last year to improve their department and therefore, improve their county.
