As always, we would ask anyone that observes any circumstances that leads them to believe that crime is imminent to please contact the police immediately. Our non-emergency line is (270) 765-4125 or for any emergency as always, you can dial 911.” says Elizabethtown Police Public Affairs Officer Chris Denham.
