I believe it is one of those grant things to do specific/target enforcement.

Project Number: M5HVE-2018-00-00-29
Project Title: Kentucky State Police Nighthawk Impaired Driving Enforcement/Equipment
Description: Kentucky State Police will conduct selective traffic enforcement at key locations in each of 16 KSP post areas. Based on crash data, enforcement efforts will be concentrated in established statewide priority areas and in counties with high numbers of alcohol-related crashes. KSP will partner with local agencies in saturation and checkpoint activities and will increase public awareness of these DUI enforcement efforts. This grant will fund overtime enforcement focused on apprehending impaired drivers; fuel costs, equipment (PBTs and in-car video cameras). According to NHTSA’s Countermeasures that Work, 7th edition, publicized saturation patrol and sobriety checkpoint programs have a 4-5 star effectiveness rating in deterring impaired driving. Kentucky State Police conducts the majority of the total traffic checkpoints in Kentucky. The purchase of PBTs will help the agency to achieve their objective to increase DUI arrests (PBTs are rated as a 4-star countermeasure) and the video cameras have proven to be effective in prosecution of DUI cases.
Budget: $525,000.00 (NHTSA 405D MAP-21/FAST Act)

Got it by Googling "Kentucky State Police" and Nighthawk.
