Ride Along with a Southeast Kentucky Police Officer! 

Thank you for your service below ground and above ground

Thank you for service God bless you and your family

You know you’ve worked after finishing a shift in a coal mine!!

I saw the Pace name and it reminded me of the late Don Pace. Don Pace was originally from Harlan Co. He said that his first day after high school graduation that his father took him to the mine to work. At the end of the day, his father told him you’re either working or going to college. Don enrolled in college. He went on to teach and was school superintendent in Clark Co for years. He also was interim superintendent in other districts after retirement. There is a lot of talent in these mountains. I lost one grandfather to a shelf collapse and my other one was almost killed by drilling a face of coal. Police work is likely safer. Best wishes to Officer Pace.

God bless you son glad you are above ground and doing police work it takes a special man to do either job

Ben’s a good dude , I’ve worked with him underground at JRL at Putney

Thats my dad❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for a very interesting and informative video about two essential occupations. I hope that brave young man finds peace and prosperity with his new career as that job is just as dangerous as his previous one.

I left WV 15 yrs underground ultra low 48" or less Coal worked last underground operations in Preston County WV To great state of NC to become a Hardwood flooring apprentice During covid I will never craw in a dog hole again it will break you 48 enough broken boans 3 rods horrible knees hopefully get new ones soon.I dont care how you feel about coal respect the miner if you haven't been down you will never understand. ..

Most of family worked in mines. That is why my Dad left there.

Coal mining is dangerous. My dad and brother worked in the mines.

I have watched this video 2times and I don't know what to say but this guy is a hard working brave man God bless him and my dear Kentucky friends and papa coyote have great week to come
