GLASGOW — With bitterly cold temperatures moving into the area, the Barren County Sheriff’s Department wants to remind everyone to check on their neighbors, especially the elderly, to make sure they are warm and have everything they need.

The sheriff’s department will be conducting welfare checks around the county, but should anyone find a situation that warrants help, or if they have someone the department should check on, contact the office at 651-2771.

Capt. Kent Keen, public information officer for the Glasgow Police Department, said officers do winter welfare checks on a call-by-call basis as they come in rather than having a list of persons on whom they check on a regular schedule.

Anyone who is concerned about the condition of a resident of Glasgow may call the police department at 651-5151 to have a welfare check performed.
