Wilmore welcomes our newest police officer, Walter Barr. Walter majored in criminal justice at the University of Dayton, where he was also captain of the soccer team. He comes to our department with experience, having served as a police officer at a military installation for the Department of Defense.
On August 4, Walter will begin the 10-week Criminal Justice course at EKU which is required of full time municipal police officers in Kentucky, and he looks forward to being on the job back in Wilmore when that is completed. Walter said that he has really enjoyed getting to know the other Wilmore officers, finding them to be very professional and good at what they do.
Walter's wife, Sarah, is finishing her bachelors degree in education at Asbury College and is also working at a preschool in Lexington. The couple live on West Main Street.
