ommunity oriented policing has been the
cornerstone of our reputation and success
since our inception in 1948. Our involvement in the rural areas we service continues to
strengthen our partnerships throughout Kentucky.
Many of you have heard me state that “…technology does not drive our mission. Our mission should
drive the technology.” Simply stated, I have always
been an advocate of technology if it streamlines our
workload and contributes to our mission of keeping
Kentucky a safer place to live and travel.
Obviously, our social media efforts over the
past few years have tremendously increased our
contacts within the communities we protect. For
the past several months, our Media Relations Branch
has been working to expand our outreach to new
levels by developing a new app for mobile devices.
This new social media platform enables us to
provide a wide range of services to citizens of the
Commonwealth and across the United States.
This new app had already been downloaded
1200 times before we formally announced its release
at a press conference earlier this week. Built on a
robust platform, it offers numerous services to the
end user. It allows citizens the ability to report
crimes, access a multitude of forms and send us
confidential tips in various formats. For instance,
the photo icon allows the user to take a photo of
something suspicious and send it to our agency
immediately.
The ‘See Something, Say Something’ voice
memo icon enables a citizen to record information
about potential criminal activity and forward the
recording to us. This reporting mechanism could
assist us in solving a multitude of crimes and
provide invaluable intelligence, particularly on
Page 6
homeland security issues. Additionally, the ‘Crime
Tip Form’ icon provides a text field for citizens to
forward information about criminal behavior in
their neighborhood or workplace.
Additional information is provided concerning
traffic, weather conditions, forms, CCDW, sexual
offender registry, Kentucky’s Most Wanted, and
links to our other social media outlets. This app is
so sophisticated that it allows us to send push
messages to a specific geo area from our headquarters
building. The uses of this feature allow us to target
a select group of people to notify during a prison
escape, traffic back up or an Amber Alert. It also
allows the user to pinpoint their exact location
should they be lost or not familiar with their
surroundings before calling the nearest KSP Post.
The app is free and available to anyone with a
mobile device.
The global smartphone audience totaled 1.75
billion users in 2014 and will overtake fixed internet
usage this year. Statistics tell us that 82% of mobile
phone use is spent utilizing a mobile app. I urge
you to spread the word about this amazing new
technology as we continue to advance our efforts to
remain immersed in the communities we serve.
Download it today at ‘KSPOLICE’ on your
iPhone, iPad, and Android phone.

PONDERINGS

hat a beautiful summer we have had –
although wetter than most – but the temperatures sure have been tolerable.
School starts back in just a few weeks – this year is
half way complete. While time has rapidly paced by
us, so have the activities of the Association.
Our members engaged in the Shop with a
Trooper all across the Commonwealth with great
success. Many families received a blessing – but not
as much of a blessing as our folks did. In fact, here
is a breakdown of the activities (and beneficial
things) YOUR ASSOCIATION has been involved in
for the past eighteen (18) months; Since January
2014 we have: awarded $20,500.00 in Scholarships;
allocated $18,000.00 to local Chapters for Shop With
A Trooper; have paid $12,000.00 in member benefits
(disasters,
calamities,
and
Rx/eye
care
reimbursements, etc.); returned $11,000.00 to local
chapters to support local activities; expended
$9,000.00 hosting the legislative breakfast; donated
$8,600.00 to various charities (Blue Knights,
Bluegrass Lawmen, Special Olympics etc...); donated
over $4,000.00 in goods to support chapter events;
donated over $28,000.00 to Trooper Island from
sales at the store; and raised over $5,250.00 for the
Trooper (Statue) Project. The total disbursed totals
$116,350.00. This represents a lot of activity by the
association for the benefit of its members.
In March, the sworn component of the agency
elected a new representative to the Kentucky
Retirement System (KRS) Board of Directors. Captain
(ret) Randy Overstreet had served the maximum
term limits [four (4) over sixteen (16) years] and was
not eligible to seek reelection. On behalf of all sworn
officers of the KSP, I wish to extend a heartfelt thank
you to Captain Overstreet for his dedication to the
agency and his selfless service on the KRS Board.
Captain Overstreet served as Chairman of that
Board for many years and was a staunch watchman
looking out for the interests of our members and
their pensions. We extend our gratitude and
appreciation to Captain Overstreet for his service.
Moreover, upon the announcement of Captain
Overstreet’s retirement from the Board, we were
fortunate to have two well qualified and capable
candidates submit their application to appear on the
ballot; LTC. Keith Peercy and Captain Lisa Rudzinski
(both now retired). The election was conducted by
the Retirement Systems and the KSP members
elected LTC (ret) Peercy to a four (4) year term. We
congratulate LTC Peercy and have full confidence he
will continue steadfast to diligently guard the
interests of all KSP sworn – active and retired.
The Association conducted the annual Police
Memorial Week service on May 11, 2015. We
experienced a larger than usual gathering and
received news media coverage. Commissioner
Brewer provided the keynote remarks as we added
another name to the memorial, Trooper Blake Tribby.
It is with a sad and heavy heart that we will add
another name to that hallowed wall next year for the
loss of Trooper Eric Chrisman on June 23, 2015 from

fatal injuries sustained while in the performance of
his duties at Post 1.
This spring has been an exciting time for the
department with the dedication of the new Training
Academy April 27 followed by the unveiling of the
Trooper Statue on May 11. The new Training
Academy is significant in many ways. It is only the
second dedicated training facility for the agency
since 1948 – the first being constructed in 1959 on
Louisville Road and serving that function until
1983. Training facilities have existed continuously
since the agencies inception, but a ‘stand alone’
facility has existed only two times. The new
Academy offers the infrastructure and land to grow
(360 acres) to provide onsite instruction for all
vocational and academic training requirements.
This will rank among the top of the many
accomplishments under the leadership of
Commissioner Brewer.
The Association is making preparations for the
2016 General Legislative Session. In May, we
constructed a survey for distribution to most all
states – concentrating on the seven Border States in
an effort to gather Trooper pay and Manpower
levels for comparison to KY. In fact, KRS 16.050
requires this survey biennially for inclusion in the
budget request (unfortunately, it does not require it
to be funded). The results were received and
compiled into a report which reflected the pay for
Troopers at different intervals; before the academy;
after training; at five years; at 10 years; at 15 years;
at 20 years; at 25 years; and at 30 years. Subsequently,
I was able to average the Border States at each of
those intervals and compare to our pay. The results
were very telling - we are below the average. And
from the five (5) year time interval forward, we are
below each border state. (The report will be printed
in full on a separate page). Moreover, we conducted
the same survey for Dispatchers and Commercial
Vehicle Enforcement Officers. Our Dispatchers are
Continued
Page 8
www.ksppa.com
below the average of the states that responded.
Making a determination for Commercial Vehicle
Enforcement Officers is more difficult, since nearly
every state surveyed does not have a separate job
classification for this function – because Troopers
perform them. This is further exemplified by the
states (state police or highway patrol) who have
consolidated or absorbed the Commercial
Enforcement function from another state agency –
the end result was conversion of the sworn officers
(who qualified) to Troopers, eliminating a dual
enforcement position.
This is the priority for the 2016 Legislative
session! We recognize that pay has not kept pace
with the cost of living. Please understand, we are
not casting blame or dispersion on anyone or any
administration, but this is the condition we find
ourselves. We recognize the economy has been
unfavorable for government and employee pay. Our
retirement funding is still in dire condition. But we
also know with the improvement of the economy
the time to promote this is now. The agency continues
to experience greater attrition through retirements
annually than recruit classes can replace. Because of
the absence of pay increases (adjustments, raises,
etc) our members are leaving at first eligibility to
retire in hope of finding another job to improve
their financial circumstances.
We are also competing with local agencies;
nineteen (19) have starting pay higher than KSP
according to a starting pay survey compiled by the
Department of Criminal Justice Training in 2012. We
struggle with pay on two fronts, retention of trained
and seasoned talent, and recruitment. During the
recent recruitment cycles, the department continues
to see applicant numbers decline to levels never
before witnessed in forty years. The most recent
cadet class produced some 600 applicants over a
five month period, while in contrast 35 years ago
that number would have exceeded 4000 for the
same number of inductees. I pray we can get the
attention of our policy makers to remedy this.
To advance this effort, the Board of Directors
voted during the August meeting to acquire the
services of McLean Lobby, LLC beginning in
September. Renee Craddock, a partner in the
McLean Lobby Group presented at the meeting and
is making preparations to advance our agenda for
the 2016 legislative session.
We have two Association Board meetings
remaining in 2015. The next and last meeting for the
year is November 14. The November 14 meeting is
the ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING – where
the election of officers occurs, changes to bylaws,
and other such business. This is a very important
meeting!! During this meeting – you will elect a
President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer,
Sergeant at Arms and Chaplain. THE ASSOCIATION
NEEDS YOUR INVOLVEMENT!!! It is important
for active duty persons to be involved and take an
active role in the association. We have persons
serving in offices (most of us are retirees) who have
occupied them for a long time. There is a need for
new and fresh perspectives and ideas.
Closing thoughts
Policing goes through changes from time to
time, generally as the result of cultural or political
shifts. What we have witnessed in the past eighteen
months is more troubling than anything I’ve
witnessed in the 38 years I’ve been affiliated with
policing. It may be reminiscent of what was
witnessed in the mid – late 1960’s and early 1970’s?
The scrutiny and public perception of policing in
general is concerning to me, because I am not sure
where it will end. While we (KSP) have been spared
the anguish other departments have been exposed
to (as we’ve watched on TV), I cringe at the thought
of when it might happen to us? Police involved
shootings are a near daily occurrence somewhere.
The thing I take comfort in most is that of our
reputation and what it has done to ward off the
onslaught of attacks other agencies have endured.
I was privileged recently to accompany Colonel
Ted Bassett (KSP Director and Deputy Public Safety
Commissioner; 1956 – 1967) to Frankfort so he could
see the Trooper Statue and tour the Academy. I have
known Colonel Bassett for over 30 years now, since
being transferred to Headquarters in 1984 and
Continued
September 2015

assigned as Recruitment Coordinator by Captain
Tommy Fields. With that assignment included
serving as Secretary of the State Police Personnel
Board, which Colonel Bassett was Chairman. I was
intrigued by Colonel Bassett’s remembrance of his
days at KSP and the philosophy he instilled to
transform the agency into a “service” oriented
“helping” agency. A master of public relations,
Bassett coined the phrase “Thin Gray Line” which is
still in use today and he saw how it was incorporated
into the sidewalk at the Academy. The Academy
Commander invited Colonel Bassett to speak to the
cadet class. Bassett stood there as 52 sets of eyes
focused on his every word and he encouraged them
to follow the footsteps of those who went before
them and the expectations they must live up to.
After that visit, I listened to a sermon titled
“Strengthen the Things That Remain”. The text used
was from the book of Revelation chapter 3 verses 2
and 3. [2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things
which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not
found thy works perfect before God. 3 Remember
therefore how thou hast received and heard, and
hold fast, and repent…….] As I listened to this, I
thought about my conversation with Colonel
Bassett, my career at KSP, and the culture of policing
that has emerged. Here is what I pray all current
KSP members understand (sworn and non-sworn),
as an agency we need to be (1) Watchful – don’t take
anything for granted. KSP must continue to be
recognized as an integral part of the public safety
network in the Commonwealth – the Flag Ship
Police Department – always ready, willing and able
to accept the task. (2) Strengthen the things that
remain – our presence in every county of Kentucky.
Our footprint has shrunk over the past twenty-five
years, we must strengthen the things that remain –
hold on to what we have. We cannot afford to be
complacent or allow someone else to answer the
call. (3) Remember how we have received and heard
and hold fast – it’s important to know our history.
It’s important to know what made us the respected
agency we are. The ‘old timers’ knew about
“discretion” and discernment” as they went about
their tasks. We didn’t become great because of ‘how
many citations or arrests we made’, It was because
Page 10
we were able to know our counties, their residents,
apply discretion and exercise discernment in the
execution of our duties. We were the “original
Community Police”.
And we’ve been able to do that for these sixtyseven years in a fair and impartial manner; and its
starts internally. On October 16, 1994, I welcomed
the 72nd Cadet Class to the Academy while assigned
as Commander (1993-1996). I remember telling
them it was a privilege for them to be selected as
cadets and from this day forward they were no
longer viewed male or female, nor black or white;
because within the KSP, “Our Color is Gray and
Gender is Trooper”.
As we meander through the remainder of
2015, let us never forget to thank our advertisers
who make this publication possible. Please
encourage your family and friends to patronize our
advertisers and sponsors often. Lastly, a special
thank you to Mrs. LeAnn Meguiar owner of Wildlife
Publishing for her professional and dedicated work
to publish a quality magazine.

otherwise not interested in training remain as CVEOs. No new CVEO positions are recruited or filled. The weigh

Trooper Eric Chrisman
This article, written by Ben Carlson, originally appeared in The Anderson News, Lawrenceburg, Ky.
It is re-printed here with permission. You may comment on this story at theandersonnews.com
By Ben Carlson & Ricki Barker, News staff
A
note found in trooper Eric Chrisman’s
apartment shortly after his death asked a
simple but poignant question: “What legacy
do you want to leave?”
That question was answered for him over the
past week as thousands upon thousansds of
people honored his service to Kentucky, his faith in
God and comforted his family following his tragic
death.
“This young man was an incredibly
dedicated Christian man,” said Ninevah Christian
Church Pastor Terry Cooper, who presided over
Chrisman’s services.
“Much of what happened [during Chrisman’s
funeral service and burial) today was based on his
faith and his family’s hope in Christ and belief in
the resurrection.
“He lived it out loud. That’s his legacy and
that lasts forever.”
Chrisman, 23, was killed last Tuesday
evening when the patrol car he was driving
slammed into a tractor-trailer as he was
responding to a wreckless driver call in western
Kentucky. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The note in his apartment spoke to
Chrisman’s core principals and faith, according to
September 2015
the Will Cooper, associate minister at Ninevah
Christian Church.
“Do everything for God #1 and #2 Family,”
the note said. “My God is first, my family is
second.”
He then went on to write, “Everyone is
family.”
Will Cooper said he did not know if Eric
wrote the note as part of a Sunday school lesson he
was planning or merely to remind himself of what
was important as he began his career.
A week before his death, Cooper said
Chrisman had attended Sunday school and
suggested that a unit on the lives of the 12 apostles
be taught.
Cooper said last week they took Eric’s
suggestion and began a unit on the 12 apostles.
“It was the largest attendance we have had in
years.”
Chrisman’s death shook Lawrenceburg to its
core. Still hurting from the loss of Lawrenceburg
police officer Kenny Goodlett who succumbed to
cancer and was buried the day after Chrisman’s
death, the community came out in droves to pay
respects to Chrisman by flooding Ninevah
Christian Church for visitation services Saturday
and Sunday.
At times, the line of people waiting to get into
the church snaked all the way out to Ninevah
Road, as people waited up to four hours to pay
their last respects.
During his funeral service, hundreds packed
Ninevah Christian Church early Monday
morning, eager to pay respect for the fallen
trooper. As the seats quickly filled, many
mourners were left to stand or watch a remote
viewing of the service in church atrium. The
church usually seats about 750.
Kentucky State Police Commissioner Rodney
Brewer said during the service that he has
received an overwhelming correspondence from
residents, legislators and even other highway
Page 23
patrol agencies across
the country expressing
their condolences for
the loss of Chrisman.
Members of highway
patrol agencies from
across the nation were
on hand, including
representatives from
California, West
Virginia, Ohio,
Alabama, Illinois,
Pennsylvania,
Minnesota, Colorado,
Mississippi and
others.
Gov. Steve Beshear
was also in
attendance.
The out-of-state
troopers came bearing
folded flags from their home states, which they
offered to Chrisman’s family as they kneeled and
provided words of comfort.
Brewer said Chrisman, like his fellow
troopers, understand the purpose and
consequences behind their chosen paths. He
lamented that Chrisman’s life might have been cut
short, but it was filled with purpose and honor.
“He (Chrisman) figured out early on that he
wanted a life with purpose, meaning and
substance. I would rather live 23 years on this earth
with meaning than 80 years of hollowness.”
Police agencies from across the country poured
into Lawrenceburg for the service, joining at least
150 Kentucky State Police cruisers in escorting
Chrisman’s body from the church to Sand Spring
Cemetery. By some counts, state police cruisers
from 11 states and at least 30 other Kentucky
counties were represented, along with college
police agencies from the University of Kentucky,
Western Kentucky University, Kentucky State
University and others.
Large American flags suspended from fire
trucks hung over Ninevah and Harrodsburg roads,
and people lined the roads for the length of the
procession, holding signs, waving flags and
saluting as a hearse carrying Chrisman’s body
passed by.
At the cemetery, what appeared to be at least
1,000 troopers and police officers stood at attention
as Chrisman’s flag-draped casket was placed into a
caisson and escorted to his grave by a rider-less
Page 24
horse with one boot turned backward in a stirrup
and a contingent of bagpipe players and a
Kentucky State Police honor guard.
The graveside ceremony included that honor
guard presenting flags to Chrisman’s parents,
Randy and Dawn Chrisman, followed by a flyover
by a team of state police helicopters.
The ceremony concluded with a chilling End
of Watch call, a tradition that simulates a fallen
officer being dispatched for duty one final time.
“This is the last and final call for Kentucky
State Trooper Eric Chrisman,” the voice said over a
loudspeaker near his grave. “Kentucky State
Trooper Eric Chrisman is cleared from duty. We’ll
take it from here.”
That call brought tears to seemingly everyone,
including many of the state troopers standing at
attention who could be seen with tears streaming
down their stoic faces.
Pastor Terry Cooper, who knew Chrisman for
nearly his entire life, said even he had trouble
containing his emotions while witnessing such a
show of love and support. “It was overwhelming,”
he said. “I’ve never seen anything like it and I’ve
been to a lot of funerals.
“I was able to hold things together pretty
well, but when they did that last call, that about
took me out.”
“It was much more than I expected,” Cooper
said of the show of support. “I was overwhelmed,
I’m still overwhelmed at the outpouring and the
affect he had on that many people in only 23 years.
“He had that affect personally and
professionally, and based it on the foundation that
he was a follower in Christ.
“That’s his legacy.”

"A Hole Has Been Torn in our Hearts"

J
ust hours after his son was laid to rest, Randy
Chrisman said he, his wife Dawn and their family are thankful for the outpouring of support
they’ve received.
“We just covet the prayers from the
community,” Chrisman said following funeral
services for his son, trooper Eric Chrisman. “We
love our son. We’re going to miss him. A hole has
been ripped in our hearts.
“One day we’ll see Eric again and understand
why this happened.”
Eric Chrisman, 23, was killed [June 23, 2015]
when the state police cruiser he was driving
slammed into a tractor-trailer while he was
responding to a call in western Kentucky.
“We would just like to thank the whole
community, including all of the police agencies,
particularly the state police, for the way they cared
for our son,” Randy Chrisman said. “The way they
just helped us through this trying time.
“We are praying to God to help make sense of
this, but we are going on, smiling like Eric smiled
and helping like Eric helped people.”
He added that his family remains in awe at the
outpouring of support.
“We stood in awe at the number of people that
stood in line for three to four hours to come through
the visitation line; in awe of the people who showed
up for the funeral and how they lined the streets of
Lawrenceburg.
“It was and amazing show of support not only
for the Chrisman family, but for law enforcement as
a whole.
“It’s amazing how much people care. I literally
have 50 cards in my mailbox today, and have had
that many in each of the past two days.
“We have a great community.”
Pastor Terry Cooper of Ninevah Christian
Church said the family’s faith has been unshakable
during such a tragic time in their lives.
“They are crushed, no doubt about it,” he said.
“But they are men and women of faith. If you don’t
have that, I’m not sure you could get through
September 2015
something like this.
“But they live in hope, and hope is in the
resurrection of Christ. This separation is temporary
and they will see their son again in the kingdom of
Heaven.
“They’re close, they’re in a church here that
loves them and stood with them, so they’re not
dealing with this alone.”

trooper Eric Chrisman to his final resting place.

Gov. Beshear Dedicates New
State Police Academy Campus
Repurposing academy from former minimum security prison allows cost savings, efficiency
G
overnor Steve Beshear formally dedicated
the new Kentucky State Police Academy on
April 27, unveiling a facility designed to
provide current and future troopers with enhanced
knowledge and skills to serve and protect the citizens of the Commonwealth.
"From day one, it was evident that the
Kentucky State Police was in dire need of a facility
that measured up to the level of professionalism
exemplified by our troopers,” Gov. Beshear said.
“This is the premier law enforcement agency in the
state, and it certainly deserves a first-class physical
training facility.”
The new facility, located at 380 Coffee Tree
Road between the Franklin County Regional Jail
and the Kentucky Vietnam Veterans Memorial,
covers a 220-acre site that includes a 15,201-squarefoot building with a 7,800-square-foot multipurpose room that will allow cadet training during
inclement weather. It was previously a minimum
security prison that was closed in 2011after the
prison population dropped. Remaining prisoners
were reassigned to other facilities.
“With this transformation, we have taken
advantage of an innovative – and almost ironic –
opportunity,” said Justice and Public Safety
Secretary J. Michael Brown. “Repurposing a facility
that had been designed and built to accommodate
those who had run afoul of the law, into a facility
now designed to train those who uphold and
protect the law and citizens of Kentucky.”
“Gov. Beshear has provided our agency with a
unique opportunity for growth and development,”
said KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer. “We now
have a modern academy where cadets and troopers
can train indoors year-round.”
For the past 32 years, the KSP training academy
has been located on the top floor of the agency’s
headquarters at 919 Versailles Road, a converted
hotel building. It was in a high-traffic area, provided
no room for growth and required cadets to travel
off site for some training activities. The new facility
will allow for a more centralized approach with less
travel time and expense. It also provides space for

Public Safety Secretary J. Michael Brown (left) and

other non-training activities such as awards
ceremonies and special events.
“We have been training 21st-century troopers
in a 20th-century facility,” said Commissioner
Brewer. “Thanks to Gov. Beshear’s support, this new
complex will boost our effectiveness and efficiency
by providing a more focused environment with
fewer distractions.”
Brewer said that Phase I of the training
academy project has been completed. Future phases
include an indoor firing range and an additional
classroom complex.
“By offering an enhanced training experience,
we will be able to better attract the quantity and
quality of applicants needed to maintain our ranks
and better serve and protect the citizens of Kentucky,”
he said.
Commissioner Brewer said the design of the
new academy is unique and deeply rooted in KSP

heritage and symbolism.
“Its black and gold color scheme represents the patrol car colors adopted when the agency was formed
in 1948,” he explains. “The two colors of gray used throughout the campus reflect the summer uniform and
the slightly darker winter pants worn by
Kentucky State Troopers. The gold trim
around entrance doors represents the
brass buttons and insignia and the black
roofs represent the black pocket covers
on uniform shirts.”
“The gray line that runs in the sidewalk
throughout the academy is a reminder of
‘The Thin Gray Line,’ Brewer said, “It’s a
term coined to describe the agency by
former KSP Director James E. ‘Ted’
Bassett, III who stated, ‘The only thing in
Kentucky that separates law from
lawlessness is the thin gray line’ before a
legislative committee in Frankfort.”
Other symbols include the limestone

with individual “rough” stones representing cadets
when they enter the academy topped by a smooth,
polished section representing troopers who are
currently serving.
“This design feature represents the cadets who
are rough when they enter the academy and polished
when they leave,” said Brewer.
The first cadet class to live and train at the new
academy reported for 23 weeks of training on May
24.

Governor’s Medal of Valor Presented
To Family Of KSP Trooper Killed In 1965
T
he Governor’s Medal of Valor was
presented posthumously to Delano
G. Powell, a Kentucky State Trooper
killed in the line of duty in 1965, at a ceremony held in Lexington today.
Kentucky Justice and Public Safety
Cabinet Secretary J. Michael Brown
presented the award to Powell’s widow and
niece, Barbara Teague and Phyllis McGuire
of Campbellsburg, Ky. on behalf of Gov.
Steve Beshear.
“It is no small decision for the men
and women who choose this duty and go
out in the world each day to face violence,
abuse, hatred, evil, greed and fear in pursuit
of the public good,” said Gov. Steve Beshear.
“Trooper Powell undoubtedly started his
shift that day the same way he began each
day of his career: with the full knowledge
that the uniform he wore and the badge he
carried made him a target to someone. It’s
that selfless commitment to serve, to the
point of sacrificing his own life, that we

under circumstances of extreme personal
hazard. It is awarded only by order of the
Governor. Including Tpr. Powell, 18 Kentucky State Troopers have been awarded the medal since 1973.
Powell was 28 years old and had been a trooper for 18 months, when he was shot and killed on July 8,
1965 while attempting to serve a warrant in Breathitt County. The perpetrator was later apprehended and
convicted.

KSP Unveils Statue To
Honor Agency Service
and Sacrifice
T
he Kentucky State
Police has strived to
achieve a legacy of
service, bravery and sacrifice. With the unveiling of
a powerful new symbol on
May 11, this history will
be permanently honored.
At nearly 10-feet tall, a
masterfully crafted bronze
statue,
entitled
‘The
Trooper,’ rises as the crown of the recently dedicated
state police training academy. Rendered in formal
uniform, the figure is posed striding toward the
future, moving out to protect the citizens of the
Commonwealth.
"The statue is a permanent tribute to the
troopers and officers of the Kentucky State Police
who have made the ultimate sacrifice by giving their
lives in the line of duty," says KSP Commissioner
Rodney Brewer. "Moreover, it's about all those who
have served since the agency’s inception in1948 and
made tremendous sacrifices on a daily basis to
protect its citizenry."
Twenty-eight troopers and officers have been
killed in the line of duty. One of those victims,
Trooper James McNeely, drowned during a rescue
mission on the Kentucky River in 1972. His body
was never recovered.
“This statue also honors the one we
were not able to bring home,” says Brewer.
“In recognition, the statue’s face bears a
resemblance to Trooper McNeely.”
World renowned sculptor, Benjamin
Victor, took personal interest in his artful
creation of the trooper statue. He was
diligently sensitive to the image of the modern
day Kentucky Trooper, carefully remaining
true to all details of the iconic uniform.
The 35-year-old Victor is the only living
sculptor to have two statues in the U.S.
Page 42
Capitol in Washington, DC. Working in both bronze
and marble, he produces incredibly detailed
monuments that function as tributes to great
historical figures and contemporary heroes like
police, firefighters or those who have served in the
military.
“I am very proud to have been able to create
this monument,” says Victor. “I put a great amount
of time and energy into making it for an agency I
believe is more than deserving of a lasting tribute
for its officers.”
No public funds were used to pay for the
statue. The KSP Citizen’s Police Academy Alumni
Association formed a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization
called The Trooper Project to fund the effort. Many
grass-roots fund-raising events and programs were
held during the past year by agency employees and
retirees to generate revenue. Activities included a
Grand Canyon Honor Hike, t-shirt sales, a Bunco
night, a Texas Hold’em tournament, a pancake
breakfast, a leadership summit, motorcycle rides, a
basketball tournament and more.
Major contributors to the fund included
Commonwealth Credit Union, Delta Dental of
Kentucky, Equestrian Events, Inc. and the Keeneland
Foundation, Inc. KSP also partnered with Man O’
War Harley-Davidson and the Calipari Foundation
to raffle a basketball-themed Road King motorcycle

signed by University of Kentucky Coach John Calipari.
“Today is the day where two journeys converge,” said Brewer at the
unveiling. “The first journey began when our agency was created. A journey of
hardships and triumphs that forged the agency you see today. The second
journey began nearly 10 months ago with a dream that turned into reality. It
was a dream of having a special place that we hold sacred to pay homage to
the men and women who protect the Commonwealth. Today that dream is a
reality.”
Brewer advised that the project has nearly reached its fundraising goal of
$100,000 with a few more events planned to meet the financial obligations. To

KSP Telecommunicator Makes A
Difference In Life Of Child
The Kentucky State Police employs 191 telecommunicators at 16 sites throughout the
state. Often called the “heroes behind the headsets,” these men and women provide
a lifeline to both citizens in need and officers in the field. They serve as an unseen,
but vital link in keeping law enforcement officers and the public safe at all times of
the day or night. In 2014, they answered a total of 551,500 requests for assistance.
The following incident illustrates the impact these dispatchers can have in the performance of their daily duties.
O
n January 9, 2015, Nita Franklin, a police
telecommunicator at Kentucky State Police
Post 4 in Elizabethtown, answered a call
from a male subject regarding a custodial interference complaint. He explained that the biological, but
non-custodial mother of his 10-year-old daughter
had failed to return the child from a visitation with
her in Texas. This resulted in a warrant being issued
for the mother by the Meade County Attorney’s
Office.
“The father told me he had received a message
from the child’s mother that she would not come
back to a state where she would be arrested and she
was headed for the border,” said Franklin.
Franklin immediately accessed FBI National
Crime Information Center resources and discovered
that while the mother had already been entered into
the database as wanted, the child was not listed as
missing. She took it upon herself to straighten out
the situation and entered the child as “missing
endangered” due to the mother’s past history of
mental and physical abuse.
Her next move played a critical role in bringing
the situation to a positive conclusion. “I obtained the
mother’s cell phone number and requested a “ping”
on her phone,” she said.
When this process located the mother in
Marshall, Texas, Franklin contacted local authorities
and provided them with a description of the vehicle,
suspect and child.
“Subsequent pings, which were coming in at
about 15-minute intervals, tracked the vehicle
travelling south through the Texas counties of
Harrison, Panola and Shelby, heading toward the
Mexican border,” Franklin recalls. “I was contacting
authorities in those jurisdictions while continuing to
monitor the pings.”
To her relief, it wasn’t long before she received
a call from the Shelby Co. (Texas) Sheriff’s Office
advising that the vehicle in question had been
stopped and the occupants detained.
(The mother was taken into custody and the
child was eventually returned safely to her father.)
Franklin remembers that the most challenging
part of the incident involved her unfamiliarity with
the geography. “While trying to stay ahead of the
vehicle between ping notifications, I was on line
researching maps and contact numbers for agencies
in Texas as I was unfamiliar with the area,” she said.
“The ping information just listed the GPS
coordinates and showed a small map of the location,”
she adds. “Finding the appropriate agency to contact
took time and kept me busy so I really didn’t think
about the stress until it was over. It was a rewarding
feeling when we received the call that the vehicle
had been stopped.”
“Due to Nita’s persistence and desire to go
above and beyond her job duties and responsibilities,
the child in this case is currently safe and with her
biological father,” notes Capt. David Millay,
commander of KSP Post 4. “Had the suspect made it
across the border, the child’s life could have turned
out much different.”

KSP Telecommunicator
The power of human connections ®
The actions of Nita Franklin, a police telecommunicator
at Kentucky State Police Post 4 in Elizabethtown,
played a critical role in ensuring the safety of a 10-yearold Meade County child in January of 2015. The
incident illustrates the impact telecommunicators can
have in the performance of their daily duties.
six years. She started dispatching as a part time job
while going to college.
“I really enjoyed the job and being able to help
people, so when a full time position became
available, I took it,” she says. “To be a good
telecommunicator, you have to be able to multi-task
and make decisions quickly while remaining calm.
If you remain calm, you are less likely to make a
mistake.”
“In a lot of ways, you have to think like a
trooper, what they want to know, be nosy, be
investigative when questioning callers and pay
attention for things that may not sound right.”
“Telecommunicators are the life line for our
troopers every day,” says Capt. Millay, “and Nita
has proven to be an invaluable asset to the Kentucky
State Police.” In nominating her for a KSP Police
Telecommunications Support Award, which she
received in October of 2014, he praised her work
performance highly stating, “In my 20 years with
the agency, I have met very few people who possess
the demeanor she maintains under normal and
event-driven stressful situations.”

On Thursday, May 7, 2015, Trooper Corey King made a stop
to Southern Oaks Elementary School in Daviess County to
speak with three Kindergarten classes. King spoke about
stranger danger, 911, firearm safety and road rules. He also
showed the students his 2014 Dodge Charger and its
emergency equipment.
A parent at Southern Oaks Elem School showed up while
Trooper King was presenting to the kindergarten class. She
wanted to come because she wanted to see how excited
her son would be when he sees a trooper.
She shared the story about her sons passion for police
officers. She told Trooper King, that if their family goes out
to eat and the police are there eating too, he makes the
entire family go over to say hi to the officers.
So, Trooper King gave the young man a better view of his
cruiser and let him turn on the lights and siren. He was very
excited to get to activate the emergency equipment!

rooper Island observed its 50th anniversary this year with another camping season providing recreation and
learning experiences for underprivileged
boys and girls from throughout Kentucky.
Since its beginning in 1965, the 34.5-acre
island, located at the Clinton County end of
Dale Hollow Lake, has hosted more than
25,000 campers providing good food, fresh
air, recreation, guidance and structured,
esteem-building activities designed to
encourage good citizenship and positive relationships with law enforcement officers.
"KSPPA has had a special relationship
with Trooper Island since 2002,” says KSPPA
President and retired KSP Lt. Col. Tim
Hazlette, “when KSP transferred operation of
the Trooper Island store to KSPPA. Since
then, the store has become a major fund Trooper Island is a 34.5 acre island located at the Clinton

One of the first organizations to offer help was
Kentucky’s Optimist Clubs. They sold Trooper
Island bumper stickers for $5 apiece and offered
honorary deeds to one-square-yard plots on the
island for $1 each. They also started a statewide
“Buck for a Boy” campaign.
The first bumper sticker was sold to Gov.
Edward T. Breathitt, who later became the first
Kentucky governor to visit the island. Dr. James W.
Bryan, a prominent Louisville physician, became
the first honorary deed-holder. George Headley, a
Lexington horse-farm owner, sent a four-figure
donation to the Buck for a Boy campaign.
The Kiwanis Clubs and Rotary Clubs of
Kentucky were also early supporters of the island as
well as the Keeneland Association and U.S. Rep. Dr.
Tim Lee Carter, of Kentucky’s Fifth Congressional
District.
In early 1966, KSP Lt. John Ed Tomlinson, who
became the island’s first volunteer director for
construction and maintenance, led a group of 25
troopers to the site to begin reclaiming the property
from nature. The island had been abandoned for 15
years and was overgrown with bushes, trees and
creeper vines. The only remains of the youth camp
were a solitary sheet-metal building, which had
served as target practice for passing hunters over
the years. They slowly rid the property of the
unwanted growth and converted the builing into a
usable dining hall.
Page 60
To support their efforts, they constructed a
barge for transporting supplies and equipment.
Evelyn Riddle, Miss Clinton County of 1966,
christened the barge with a bottle of water from
several Kentucky lakes at a fund-raising event that
drew 150 guests who dined on chicken, ham, beans,
cole slaw and coffee.
With the first campers scheduled to arrive in
July, much of the camp existed only on paper. A lack
of everything from shelter to recreational equipment
put the opening in doubt.
Only days before the first campers were to
arrive, Sgt. James F. Johnson and James Borders of
the Radcliff Optimist Club saved the day. They
arranged a loan of tents, cots, tables, folding chairs
and recreational equipment from the U.S. Army at
Ft. Knox. The aid also included two field kitchens as
well two cooks to operate them.
A few days after July 4, 1966, Trooper Island
opened for its first camping season, which lasted
only two weeks. Thirteen-year-old Michael Van
Horne and 12-year-old William Henry Pack of
Ashland were among the group of boys from
throughout the state who boarded a barge at Wisdom
Boat Dock and headed for the island where they
were welcomed by five KSP troopers. The facilities
were lean. Tents housed both campers and troopers.

service by newspapers throughout the state.
The island was also recognized with a national
“Working With Youth” award from Law and

1,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide.

desire for a better tomorrow. I can’t think of a more
worthwhile cause that we can support through
profits from the Trooper Island store.”

oday, Trooper Island campers awaken each
morning at 7 a.m. to the sound of a KSP
cruiser driving around to each cabin with
lights flashing and siren blaring. The late KSP Sgt.
David Upchurch, who was camp director from 1969
to 1978, told the following story to the Clinton Co.
News in 2005.
In his day, he used a loud public address
system to awaken campers at 6 a.m. followed by
his attempt at yodeling and then singing a few
songs about life on the island. One of his favorite
stories is about a vacationer on a houseboat
anchored at Tennessee Island, which is separated
from Trooper Island by only a small strip of water.
“After the second day,” he recalled, “the
vacationer came to the island and offered a
donation to the camp if I would promise not to
sing any more that week.”
Campers always enjoy the fishing activities.

Trooper Island’s original mission “to have fun” still puts smiles

Daily flag-raising ceremonies and the pledge of
allegiance are a tradition from the camp’s early
days.
