Who remembers these words? DUE REGARD!, then the LMPD Officer Violated KRS 189.940B. Let me put it to you this way, if I drove my Engine, Ladder or Rescue Apparatus in a manner, without DUE REGARD, that resulted in the death of private citizen, if I was lucky, the least that would happen is that I would lose my job. All through the Fire Academy and then through the Apparatus Operator/Engineer's Course, it was pounded into my head, stamped on my butt and tattooed on my chest, wait for it... DUE REGARD!
