HOPKINS CO., Ky. (WFIE) - The Hopkins County Sheriffâs Office is asking for money to hire a new detective.

Sanderson presented their budget to the Hopkins County Budget and Personnel Committee Tuesday asking for an increase in funding for the position. He acknowledges it will cost more but says theyâre already paying more in overtime than theyâd like for the lone detective.
