KSP has the only full-time tactical unit in Kentucky so I don't know who told you they were crowd control. https://www.tactical-life.com/military-and-police/agency-spotlight-kentuckys-elite-enforcers/ The availability of backup depends on where you patrol. Sometimes the nearest backup in the Sheriff and his part-time deputies ****** in bed sleeping or the KSP trooper about 30 minutes away. Not all of the criminals live in the projects and cities either.
