'BCSO Baby Boom': 15 Kentucky deputies welcome new babies in last year

BOONE COUNTY, Ky. (WDKY) – Facebook followers have speculated that there must be something in the water at the Boone County Sheriff's Office in Kentucky.

On Tuesday, the BCSO shared a group photo on Facebook with a caption reading, "We're growing in more than one way," and they weren't talking about their newest recruits: A total of 15 BCSO deputies welcomed new babies in the last year — a remarkable occurrence that the sheriff's office is calling the "BCSO Baby Boom."

"What have y’all been drinking?" one commenter joked.

"I'd love to know the statistical probability of this! Pretty astronomical, I'd imagine," another Facebook comment read.

The Boone County community couldn't get enough.

"This is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen," wrote one social-media user.

Locals on Facebook were largely supportive of the group. The picture, some said, illustrated 15 more reasons those deputies can look forward to coming home safely at the end of the day.

"What a crop of junior deputies for the future," another commenter said.
