FRANKFORT, Ky. (Jan. 30, 2025) - The Kentucky State Police (KSP) encourages Kentuckians to share the love this Valentine’s Day by purchasing a Trooper Teddy Bear, a gift that is as heartwarming as it is impactful. KSP is hosting a special Trooper Teddy Bear sale between Jan. 30 - Feb. 16, with a special discounted price at $20 each.

Customers who order online by February 7 and select shipping will also receive a free sheet of Trooper Teddy Valentine’s cards to pair with their bear, making it the perfect “beary” special gift for loved ones.

Every purchase of these adorable bears gives KSP troopers and officers a unique tool that helps children facing challenging situations, such as a car crash, cases of abuse, or serious illness. Those who give the gift of a Trooper Teddy not only spread love to their valentine but also make a difference in the lives of Kentucky’s most vulnerable population.

"Trooper Teddy Bears have become an essential part of our mission to support children and build trust with them," said KSP Commissioner Phillip Burnett, Jr. "This Valentine’s Day, we encourage everyone to join us in creating smiles and spreading kindness."

Trooper Teddy Bears can be ordered online or purchased directly at any KSP Post. Online orders can be shipped to your home for an additional fee or picked up for free at your local KSP Post.

The Trooper Teddy Project relies solely on donations and the sale of bears to sustain itself. One hundred percent of the proceeds are used to purchase additional bears to distribute to children in need.
