Tim Hazlette (Ret.), President, KSPPA I trust you and your families enjoyed a Merry Christmas and your New Year is off to a good start. It is our desire and prayer that 2015 is a safe and calm year for the police service in Kentucky and our nation. As peace officers, the recent month’s events are somewhat reminiscent of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s when public protests were common in many areas of the country resulting in riotous situations. Kentucky was not spared during those times and the Kentucky State Police rose to the occasion as we were summoned to restore order and peace. Notable incidents included protests on the campus of the University of Kentucky and court ordered busing of school children which resulted in riots within Louisville. In all instances the Thin Gray Line performed in a stellar manner. These events and the resulting perceptions of police departments bring forth a re-visiting of “Legitimacy in Policing”. KSP Troopers have long been viewed by all they encounter as legitimate peace officers ready and capable of resolving issues for citizens and enforcing the law with discernment, fairness, and discretion all the while portraying appropriate firmness. As I’ve conveyed to new and old Troopers alike, we have been “handed a great heritage which must be protected (contended for)”, lest we lose it. [Note recent actions to establish a regional police force through inter-local agreements]. Therefore, we continue to demonstrate our good will and building of the public trust through many outreach activities. In addition to the Associations support of Trooper Island, our Association members continue to be on the front line in the Shop with a Trooper Christmas program events all across the Commonwealth. Thank you for another successful year of being a blessing to families and children in need. February will mark the commencement of the 2015 Regular Session of the Kentucky General Assembly. The Association will continue to host our weekly breakfast as part of our outreach efforts during the session. Over the next year one of our focus points will include informing and educating our policy makers of the need for additional Troopers, their pay and benefits which add to the attractiveness of this career. While currently the agency is budgeted for approximately 1010 sworn, we see the staffing levels at 100 below that mark. However, the actual need far exceeds the actual budgeted number of Troopers in the present biennial budget. In addition to being understaffed, recruitment has become a challenge and appears to be for police departments in general. It’s difficult to imagine the vast reduction of applicants in view of Continued March 2014 The Kentucky Trooper Page 7 President's Ponderings the historical numbers over much of the past 30 years where we experienced applicants by the thousands. We must seriously self-examine ourselves in an effort to determine why a career as a State Trooper has lost its appeal. Nonetheless, we can be thankful for the diligence and success of Commissioner Brewer’s efforts to conduct a cadet class every year despite the economic and budget challenges. Many other states have not been so fortunate. Our thanks to Commissioner Brewer, Governor Beshear, and the General Assembly for insuring available funding for cadet classes. Another issue of interest for us is the revisions to KRS 15.440 relating to the Kentucky Law Enforcement Foundation Program (KLEFP) fund. Legislation is being planned for introduction to amend the current statute language to apply eligibility for participation to all peace officers who are required to be certified under the provisions of Peace Officer Professional Standards (POPS). Moreover, the legislation contains a provision to increase the proficiency stipend from $3100.00 per year to $4,000.00 per year beginning on July 1, 2016 and increase it to $4,500.00 per year on Page 8 July 1, 2018. It is noteworthy to point out the association has taken steps to streamline portions of the Bylaws by cleaning up language to insure better clarity and understanding. As a result, all sub-divisions of the Association are identified as Chapters and all elected offices serve a one (1) year term. Moreover, the quarterly meeting schedule was established as follows; February 7; May 16; August 8; and November 14. It should be highlighted that the November meeting will serve as the General Membership meeting in which officers are elected and Bylaws may be amended. Financially, the Association continues to pay down the mortgage on the Association building and museum. We continue to use JAK Associates for their telemarketing services which generate about $5,000.00 each month in revenue. Unfortunately, we have received numerous calls of complaint from citizens questioning the legitimacy or the transactions which have occurred in their respective donation. The Kentucky Trooper Continued www.ksppa.com President's Ponderings We have worked to resolve those issues and re-assure our supporters of the safety and security of their bank transactions. Please be sensitive to any complaints you may receive and act on them judiciously – our reputation is at stake and we never want to compromise that, Revision to membership dues have also been enacted effective January 1 which ended the “lifetime“ membership for retirees (except the lineof-duty disability) and set an annual membership (with benefits) at $40. Retiree membership may be maintained at no cost if the member elects to not receive benefits (scholarship program; Christmas Gift Certificate; prescription reimbursement, etc.). Also added to member benefits is participation in the Professional Law Enforcement Association (PLEA) which offers discounts on a number of services and includes accidental death and dismemberment insurance. Membership is opened to ALL EMPLOYEES of KSP. As we strive to grow our membership – when we reach or exceed 750 members, it is financially probable for dues to be reduced by fifty-percent. The Association continues its efforts to support the Trooper Project (statue) through fund raising. Contributions have been received from the American Association of State Troopers (AAST) [www. statetroopers.org] in the amount of $500 and a similar contribution from Blue Knights Motorcycle Club in the amount of $500. As we traverse 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. A special thank you to Mrs. LeAnn Meguiar, owner of Wildlife Publishing, for her professional and dedicated work to publish a quality magazine. Lastly, I encourage every member of the Association and every member of KSP to always seize the opportunity to “let our light shine” before the public we serve and “always be ready to give an answer” to everyone that asks why we do what we do, with humility and sincerity (1 Peter 3:15).

They’re ladies and gentlemen and that’s getting to be a lost quality today.” “Today, law enforcement is a very courageous and noble profession,” she observes. “I would urge those who want to do ultimate good for society to devote their talents to law enforcement. If we don’t have law and order, we have nothing else. Everything else rests on that foundation.” “Although it is a dangerous time to embark on a career in law enforcement, we never needed good people in law enforcement more than we do now,” she concludes. “I like to believe that we still have people who want to be heroes among us.” Officers returning to KSP under Trooper R status took their oath from Judge Combs on November 3, 2014 at KSP headquarters.

This included a check for approximately $4875.00 from Joe Hill Equipment Company from Bardstown, Kentucky that hosted an additional benefit ride on behalf of Officer Ellis and donated the proceeds to the foundation and we presented those funds as well.

March 2014 The Kentucky Trooper Page 13 PRIVATE-PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP TAKES AIM AT STATE’S NO. 1 KILLER OF TEENS R on Turley spent 27 years patrolling the highways of Kentucky as a state trooper. Ask him what the worst part of the job was and he quickly answers: “Telling parents that their son or daughter was killed in an automobile crash – nothing comes close to that.” now retired from KSP, Turley shares some of those horrific stories with teen drivers as an instructor in an innovative, defensive-driving program called Alive at 25. “It’s a fun and engaging class, but the students take it seriously,” he says. “They actually practice how to tell their friends to slow down, stop texting and driving, and not to drink and drive.” Alive at 25 was developed by the National Safety Council (NSC) to take aim at the No. 1 killer of teens — motor-vehicle crashes. The course is free and is state certified, meaning it counts toward the classroom requirement for the Kentucky Graduated Driver Licensing Program. The statewide Alive at 25 program was made possible by a two-year, $150,000 grant from Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc. (TMMK). By 2015, the partnership between NSC, Toyota and the Kentucky State Police will reach more than 11,000 high school students. It is the second grant from Toyota toward Alive at 25. In 2004, the automaker gave $150,000 to help kick-start the program. “The challenges facing teen drivers — including inexperience and distracted driving — are immense,” says Mike Price, vice president, administration, TMMK. “For Toyota, building safe, quality vehicles is only part of the process. We are taking a leadership role in the auto industry to promote safe driving, especially among teens.” Kentucky currently has one of the highest teen-crash rates in the nation. Teen drivers only account for about seven percent of Kentucky drivers, but are involved in about 18 percent of deadly crashes and more than 20 percent of all highway crashes, according to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. In the decade since Alive at 25 launched, the state’s death toll among drivers ages 16 to 19 dropped 46 percent. The numbers jumped by 20 percent in 2012, which led to the new Toyota grant to help KSP increase the number of instructors and programs across the state. Turley is one of those added instructors. Since the expansion of the program, crash numbers are decreasing. According to KSP, in 2013 crashes involving teens dropped seven percent, deadly crashes decreased 12 percent and injury crashes were down seven percent. Kentucky is the first to offer the program statewide and unique in that 31 of the 32 certified instructors are KSP employees including troopers and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement officers. The classes include interactive media segments, workbook exercises and role-playing. Discussions Continued Page 14 The Kentucky Trooper www.ksppa.com Private-Public Partnership Takes Aim At State’s No. 1 Killer Of Teens allow students to develop convictions and strategies to keep them safe and explore how changing driving behavior makes personal, legal and financial sense. “The Alive at 25 program is unique in that it goes beyond teaching basic driving skills, and explains to teens why crashes happen and how to prevent them,” says John Ulczycki, vice president of strategic initiatives at NSC. “These classes speak teens’ language. The material is laid out in a way that makes sense to them. By the end, they feel empowered to be a safer driver and a better passenger.” Alive at 25 programs are being booked through KSP at high schools across the Commonwealth. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet certified the Alive at 25 curriculum for inclusion in the Retired Kentucky State Police Trooper Ron Turley is one of the 32 state’s Graduated Driver Licensing certified instructors for the Alive at 25 defensive-driving program, a Program – a three-step licensing system partnership between Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky, Inc., that has proven to reduce teen-related the National Safety Council and the Kentucky State Police that targets the state’s leading killer of teens: motor vehicle crashes. crashes. “When it comes to young or inexperienced drivers, we have made a lot of progress over the past 10 years,” says Bill Bell, executive director, Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS). “However, we still have some work ahead of us to mirror the national decreases in younger driver crashes and fatalities. At KOHS, we believe that broad partnerships are necessary to achieve the goal of reducing crashes, especially for younger drivers.” March 2014 The Kentucky Trooper Page 15 The Ride Of A Lifetime By Phillip R. Ramey, Director of Spirituality, Riverview Health Care Center Posted on riverviewhealthcarecenter.com, Nov. 3, 2014. Re-printed with permission. O n a cool fall day in October in Prestonsburg, Kentucky, one gentleman experienced the ride of a lifetime as Sergeant Chris Hicks of the Kentucky State Police pulled into the parking lot at Riverview HealthCARE to give one of our elders, Chester Potter a ride in a new Dodge Charger Police Cruiser. In 1947, Mr. Potter was drafted into the Kentucky Highway Patrol which today is known as the Kentucky State Police. Chester was a graduate from the very first class of the Kentucky State Police. He is the only surviving graduate of his class. Chester solved some very famous cases during his career as a Trooper and later as a Detective for the Kentucky State Police. These cases, his interrogation techniques, and his tracking abilities were later used in books that were studied at the KSP Academy. Chester retired in 1975 from the Kentucky State Police. His badge and the number on it were also retired with him. Mr. Potter’s badge was the first in the history of the KSP to ever be retired. It was not the fact that Chester was getting to ride in a police cruiser that was significant, he had driven one many times, but the ride of a lifetime was experienced by the KSP Sergeant and the honor he had in giving a ride to Mr. Potter. This truly must have been the ride of a lifetime! Editor's Note: Chester Delbert Potter, 94 years of age, passed away Jan. 10, 2015, at Riverview Health Care Center in Prestonsburg, Kentucky. Mr. Potter was the last surviving member of the agency's first cadet class from 1948. According to wkyt.com news, dozens of troopers gathered at the United Methodist Church in Prestonsburg to pay tribute to Potter. State police patches filled the pews. Mr. Potter retired from the Kentucky State Police in the 1970s. Potter was a lieutenant.

Copyright, ASAE: The Center for Association Leadership, July 18, 2014, Washington, DC Editor's Note: The KSP cruiser finished just outside of the top five at number six. C ongratulations are in order for the Ohio State Highway Patrol, whose cruisers recently won a beauty contest of sorts. One of our main purposes as a national trooper association is to help develop bonds of camaraderie among troopers nationwide, which this contest definitely helped achieve. The Ohio troopers’ Dodge Charger was tops in the recent “Best Looking Cruiser Contest,” sponsored by the American Association of State Troopers. The car received almost 22,000 votes on Facebook during the two-week social media campaign that closed on Tuesday and reached more than one million people, said Angie Ishee, AAST public relations manager, who added that the purpose of the contest was twofold. “First, one of our main purposes as a national trooper association is to help develop bonds of camaraderie among troopers nationwide, which this contest definitely helped achieve,” Ishee said. “Also, the friendly competition allowed the 49 highway patrol and state police agencies to showcase their patrol cruiser, while getting publicity for their agency at no charge, which is the beauty of social media.” "The added publicity also served as a national recruiting opportunity for many agencies during a time when recruitment efforts have become difficult for many law enforcement departments," Ishee added. In order of most votes, the top-five best-looking cruisers included the: The Ohio State troopers reserve bragging rights and their car will be featured in an upcoming issue of AAST’s publication Trooper Connection. This was the first “Best Looking Cruiser Contest” for AAST, which represents active and retired state troopers, state police officers, and highway patrol officers. The organization is hoping the contest will be the first of many, including a future best-looking motorcycle contest. “We were very pleased with the results,” Ishee said. “What we were most pleased with was the input from the community. It was amazing to see the support of their state troopers and the deep pride in the troopers serving their area. It just goes to show the relationship that troopers have worked hard to build in their communities.” Ohio State Highway Patrol West Virginia State Police North Carolina State Highway Patrol Alabama Highway Patrol Minnesota State Patrol March 2014 The Kentucky Trooper Page 19 FOR SALE 1:43 Scale Dodge Charger Cruiser Located inside the KSPPA office in Frankfort Kentucky is a gift shop with KSP imprinted items for sale.

Jackie Pickrell of Post 10 represented KSP and the state of Kentucky in the final leg of the 2014 Special Olympics USA Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) from June 11-14. She joined more than 100 law enforcement officers and Special Olympics athletes from all 50 states who carried the “Flame of Hope” on a five-day, multi-state journey to the opening ceremonies of the Special Olympics USA national games in Newark, New Jersey. Endorsed by the International Association of Chiefs of Police, LETR is the largest grassroots fundraiser and public awareness vehicle for the Special Olympics, an organization started in 1968 to provide physical fitness and development opportunities to children and adults with intellectual disabilities. More than 85,000 law enforcement officers participate in 113 LETR programs in 46 countries annually. Since its inception in 1981, it has raised more than $461 million for the Special Olympics. “Representing Kentucky in the final leg of the run was a tremendous honor,” says Pickrell, who has participated in the event at the local and state level for several years. “Lt. Jennifer Sandlin of Post 9 invited me to a Special Olympics event several years ago and I got hooked.” Since then Pickrell has helped in fundraisers, carried the flame to the opening ceremonies of the state games in Richmond and handed out medals as well. Pickrell started training for the final leg run last fall, when Kentucky LETR officials selected her to represent the state in the 2014 event. “I had Continued March 2014 The Kentucky Trooper Page 21 Running For A Cause about eight months to prepare. I ran almost daily,” she remembers. Pickrell is glad she started training early because the event schedule was a challenge. “We ran for four days through New York and New Jersey,” she says. “We ran eight to 10 times a day at various locations. Each run was between one and three miles.” “I ran through Times Square and the Sept. 11 Ground Zero area in New York City, around the Statue of Liberty, up the Jersey shore, in Atlantic City and at various colleges and sporting arenas,” she says. “We ran in freezing rain, scorching sun and everything in between. We were up and on a bus by 5 a.m. every morning and most nights we didn’t roll in until 10 or 11 p.m.” “Many meals were eaten on the bus, but every step was worth it,” she adds. “Each state was represented in the run and one of us would speak at each stop. I spoke at the Holmdel (N.J.) Police Dept. and received the key to the city from the mayor. We also appeared on Fox and Friends News and ESPN.” Page 22 Pickrell’s’ best memory was at the opening ceremony for the national games on June 15, where she met the 39 athletes and 16 coaches from Kentucky who would be competing in aquatics, artistic gymnastics, track and field, basketball, bocce, bowling, flag football and golf. In KSP uniform, she escorted the state team into the arena. “It was amazing to see the Special Olympics cauldron lit with the Flame of Hope that we had carried and protected all week,” she recalls. “Our job was complete. We had delivered it safely. All the athletes were thanking us and cheering for their flame. It was very moving.” “I am honored to have been given such an incredible opportunity,” Pickrell concludes. “The athletes are amazing people and it’s humbling to be able to play a part in their event. If you have never participated in a Special Olympics event, I encourage you to do it at least once. It’s a life changing experience.” The Kentucky Trooper www.ksppa.com COLD CASE FEATURES KSP Requests Help in Resolving Cold Case Murders Cold Case On Murder Of Roger S.

March 2014 The Kentucky Trooper Page 25 Kentucky State Police SRT GLOCKs By Christian Redman Reprint Permission granted by PERSONALDEFENSEWORLD.com T he Kentucky State Police have a long history of conducting car chases and getting the bad guy. When one thinks of a Kentucky State Trooper, you picture a tall, ramrod-straight, drill-sergeant type getting out of his souped-up cruiser. You picture the trooper on the highway giving tickets and at the state fair giving kids a tour of a crushed-up car that was smashed in a drunk-driving accident. Well, let me tell you a tale of a littleknown, very select crew of Kentucky State Troopers who are as good as any SWAT team in the country. Elite Troopers A Kentucky State Trooper presents his GLOCK 35 while The Kentucky State Police started the practicing a felony traffic stop. state’s Special Operations Branch in 1988. The “Welcome to the Kentucky State Police SRT team.” Special Response Team (SRT), the only full-time After the feeling in my hand returned to normal, I special operations group in the state, has since found out the following: 1) The Kentucky State evolved into an elite 12-person unit within the State Police recruit SRT members from all over the state; 2) Police. Based in an active U.S. Army depot in eastern Every recruit must have served for at least three Kentucky, the team members live, eat, sleep and years as a Kentucky State Trooper; 3) Any trooper work SRT. who has been subject to a sustained internal As I passed through the security checks to complaint is prohibited from applying; 4) Every meet the team, I realized this was serious business!

The trooper who emerged from the team leader after a rigorous selection process. SUV was at least 6-feet-2-inches tall. He looked like As I stood around the SRT squad room, I was a spec-ops recruiting poster. Then he smiled, stuck reminded of my time, many years ago, as an Army out his hand and in a nice southern drawl said, reconnaissance scout. The team had a hard-edged humor mixed with strong camaraderie. You sensed that these troopers were the real deal. All were dressed the same: camo shirts and pants, boots sharp and ready to go. The room smelled of gun oil and disinfectant. Bunks were made with military corners in the bunkroom. When the sergeant walked in the banter quieted down. The sergeant was all business. He introduced me and told the team the captain wanted them to show me how it’s done! Continued Page 26 The Kentucky Trooper www.ksppa.com Kentucky State Police SRT GLOCKs,Reprint permission granted by PERSONALDEFENSEWORLD.com SRT GLOCKs The Kentucky Special Response Team’s issue GLOCK 35 (note the slide marking) and agency uniform patches. “The GLOCK was the favorite, hands down,” the armorer added. “It passed all our tests. The troopers liked it. It’s easy to field-strip and won’t rust. You pull it out of the holster and it goes bang. End of story.” The G35 was specifically chosen because its sight radius makes it easier to hit targets farther out. In testing, a variety of GLOCKs were shot by troopers of varying size. The G35 was the favorite, hands down. The Kentucky State Police chose the G27 as its backup/off-duty sidearm due to its compatibility with the G35. Reliability and caliber and magazine compatibility were musts. “The GLOCKs are an important part of our weapons platforms,” a trooper said. “We have had incidents when our primary weapon was not deployable and the G35 was our only option.” He added, “Our troopers love the GLOCK. It’s never let them down.” Continued The Kentucky State Police transitioned to the .40-caliber GLOCK 35 and GLOCK 27 in 2003. The agency was looking for a big-bore handgun with no decocking mechanism. It tested GLOCK’s pistols rigorously and liked them. Troopers both male and female especially liked the G35 and G27. The shooting scores went up, and ever since their introduction, the GLOCKs have proven themselves both on duty and off. Every SRT member had a G35 strapped to his thigh. Here and there were several G27s as well. I asked the sergeant what his men thought of the G35. His response was straight to the point: “My men and I depend on these weapons to do the job. We expect perfection every time, right out of the box. If it doesn’t work, we can’t use it.” Another trooper said, “This is the best-shooting weapon I have ever carried in 15 years with the state.” Of all the GLOCKs available, why pick the G35? The team’s armorer answered that question: “The Kentucky State Police needed a reliable bigbore pistol with a high capacity. Some of our troopers can go a while before backup arrives. If they have to shoot, we want them to put down the threat and have sufficient ammunition to stay in the fight if need be.” March 2014 The Kentucky Trooper Page 27 Kentucky State Police SRT GLOCKs,Reprint permission granted by PERSONALDEFENSEWORLD.com The 12-man Kentucky State Police Special Response Team Meet The Team The Kentucky SRT consists of 12 troopers and two medics. They field two countersniper teams as well. SRT members train constantly when not called out on a mission. They get called out on average 180 times a year. Missions range from hostage rescues to helping a road trooper in trouble. The SRT trains with local and federal teams. The team is not authorized to discuss which units they’ve trained with, though one did say, with a laugh, “Well, I will tell you this: One of the teams we train with sure likes water!” You can draw your own conclusions. The Kentucky SRT goes to the range every week and at each session shoots its full array of weaponry (yes, you read that correctly—every week!). The team has an average call-out time of one hour. That’s the time taken between receiving the phone call and hitting the road in full kit and weapons at the ready. The troopers I spoke to ranged age-wise from the mid-20s to the late 30s. They were confident but not cocky. You could tell these guys were a team. It was always “we,” never “I.” The Kentucky SRT has the ability to deploy by land or by air. They can break into teams of two if needed, and each member is cross-trained in all areas of SRT. Recent operations have included Page 28 providing security for a fallen officer’s funeral and protecting the governor at large-scale events. As a security detail, the team stages nearby and can extract the governor by vehicle or air if necessary. Some of their operations are sensitive and cannot be discussed. Door Kickers I have been a police officer for 24 years. I have been around SWAT and spec-ops military personnel, and I can tell you this: These troopers are the best of the best. I would not want them knocking on my door! As I was getting ready to leave, a trooper pulled me aside and said, “You know, we aren’t just doorkickers. We are Kentucky State Troopers first and SRT second. We like our guns and getting the bad guys, but we are family men. We believe in what we are doing. If a trooper gets in trouble with a bad guy, come hell or high water, we are coming for him.” As we were talking his hand dropped to the butt of his GLOCK. I believe him.

March 2014 The Kentucky Trooper Page 31 Chapter 9 Shop with a Trooper By Christy Runyon O n December 12, 2014, the Kentucky State Police Professional Association Chapter 9 was once again fortunate enough to host our annual Shop With A Trooper program. Seventy four children from schools in Pike, Floyd, Johnson, Martin and Magoffin counties were invited to participate in the program. The children were brought to Walmart in Pikeville where they were provided with sausage biscuits, milk and orange juice for breakfast. When the kids were finished with breakfast they were accompanied by Troopers, Vehicle Enforcement Officers, clerks, dispatchers and other volunteers from the Post 9 district who assisted them with their shopping. Each child was given a hundred dollars to spend on whatever they wanted to buy at Walmart. In addition to their regular shopping money, each child was given a voucher from Food City supermarket for a free turkey. When all the kids were finished with their shopping they were treated to lunch at McDonald’s. Each year brings a different group of children to the Post 9 Shop With A Trooper event, but one thing that never changes is the wonderful experience each of our volunteers has when they are able to help with this program. It is not unusual to see tears of joy glistening in the eyes of our helpers when they get a big hug from a child who otherwise may not have had anything for Christmas at all, and seeing seventy four happy faces is a better gift than even Santa himself could bring! If you would like to make a donation to our Shop With A Trooper fund please contact Kentucky State Police Post 9 at 606-433-7711. Page 32 The Kentucky Trooper www.ksppa.com Post 16 Receives Three New Troopers By Trooper Corey King, Public Affairs Officer, Post 16-Henderson T hese new troopers will help replace those who have retired during the past year. Maintaining strength levels are a challenge, however, with our ranks about 100 troopers below fully authorized levels. Nonetheless, our service and commitment to the citizens of the Commonwealth remains strong and effective. The new troopers are part of the agency’s 92nd cadet class. They started a 23-week training cycle on August 3, 2014 in a class that consisted of 110 cadets. Forty-one resigned during the weeks of mental and physical challenges that followed. Three women started the program and one, Leslie Strong, of Hyden, completed the training. The class also included one African American and one Asian American. The training included more than 1,000 hours of classroom and field study in subjects such as constitutional law, juvenile and traffic law, use of force, weapons training, defensive tactics, first aid, high speed vehicle pursuit, criminal investigation, computer literacy, hostage negotiations, evidence collection, radio procedures, search and seizure, crash investigation, drug identification, traffic control, crowd control, armed robbery response, land navigation, electronic crimes, sex crimes, hate crimes, domestic violence, bomb threats and hazardous materials. Several members of the class earned special recognitions including valedictorian Joseph Borders, of Louisville, Ky., and salutatorian Parker Lee, of Ashland, Ky. Patrick Ford, of Versailles, Ky., received the Ernie Bivens Award, an honor presented to the cadet who, in the opinion of the KSP Academy staff supported by input from the cadets themselves, shows distinction as a class leader, strives for academic excellence and has excelled in all phases of the academy’s physical and vocational training. Bradford Martin, of Ivel, Ky., received the Commissioner’s Commitment to Excellence Award, which is presented to cadets who demonstrate leadership, the desire to get the job done and the determination to be the best every day. Chadd Daniels, of Bimble, Ky., received the Overall Fitness Award. Four of the cadets are from Lawrenceburg. Corbin, London, Louisville and Pikeville are each represented by three cadets. Georgetown, Henderson, Murray, Smiths Grove and Somerset are each represented by two cadets.

Twenty-three students were very excited and nervous but got to experience split second decision making. Many made delayed or poor choices; however, some made wise choices too. “This is ideal training for anyone who may potentially be a juror deciding the fate of a police officer who was faced with split-second decision”, said Trooper Corey King, Post 16’s Public Affairs Officer. “Whether it be this class or previous classes, I would notice similarities in their reactions. Put in a stressful situation, students either been easily shot by the perpetrator(s) or discharged their simunition pistol in a situation that wouldn’t warrant deadly force”. “This is completely eye opening to the students and all were shocked at how fast you can be shot and how much adrenaline controls your body creating tunnel vision”, King added. Some went unscathed, but some had bragging battle wounds to show. Pictured is Trooper Jeremy Baker and student Rebecca McQueen. Both engaged in a traffic stop shootout which Baker took a sim round to his chin. McQueen was struck in two of her fingers. Post 16’s CPA graduated in Owensboro on December 11th.

Troopers falling under this classification are employed on a contractual basis and are vested with the powers and duties of any peace officer commissioned under KRS Chapter 16. To be employed as a Trooper R Class, a Chapter 16 retiree must have retired as a member of the State Police Retirement System with at least 20 years of service credit; have been separated from service for a period of no less than one month and no more than 60 months; have retired willingly with no administrative charges pending and have retired with no pre-existing agreement with the Kentucky State Police to return to work for the department. "The Kentucky State Police is the leading law Page 38 enforcement agency for the Commonwealth of Kentucky," KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer said. "Becoming a Trooper for the second time is much more than just a job, it is a second opportunity to serve the citizens of the Commonwealth with the same traditions of honor, courage and commitment that have made the agency great for more than 60 years." The following units were appointed Trooper R Class and assigned to these posts: Paul D. Oldham to Post 4 Elizabethtown; Donald L. Perry to Post 10 Harlan; David B. Decker, Joseph R.

Col. Jack Miniard recently returned from a rim-to-rim trek of the Grand Canyon which raised more than $15,000 for The Trooper Project. This project is an endeavor by KSP to build a permanent tribute to the troopers and officers of the Kentucky State Police who currently serve, who will serve and to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice with their lives. Carrying the names and photographs of each of the agency’s fallen officers, the duo completed the 30-mile hike in two days. Upon reaching the South Rim, the final leg of their journey, the pair unfurled the KSP flag and held the photos of the fallen heroes. “It was an extremely proud moment for us to bring recognition to these fallen officers and to the Kentucky State Police,” says Brewer. “Ultimately, that is why we did it and why we were there.” March 2014 The agency released a video that details the hike and provides an inside look at the troopers as they travel across the Grand Canyon. The video is available to the public at https://www.youtube.com A bronze statue of a modern day trooper will be the centerpiece of the new KSP Academy in Frankfort when it is completed in early 2015.

Since that time, the agency has contributed more than 500,000 pounds of food to shelters, food banks and churches across the Commonwealth. “The Cram the Cruiser food drive was established with the goal of giving back to our local communities who support our units throughout the year,” says Brewer. “Helping those in need is a fundamental part of our mission throughout rural Kentucky.” Brewer says the campaign has developed into a friendly competition among KSP posts and CVE regions to see which location can collect the most food. The Harlan Post is the reigning champion this year with a total of 43,825 pounds of food collected. “Words can’t express how proud I am of the posts and community members who went above and beyond to make this food drive successful,” adds Brewer. “Cram the Cruiser is a great example of law enforcement partnering with their communities for the betterment of the Commonwealth.” Page 46 The Kentucky Trooper www.ksppa.com Luncheon Held to Honor Veteran K SP Post 16 hosted a luncheon in July, 2014, with a special guest in attendance, retired Army Staff Sergeant Don J. Jenkins. S/Sgt. Jenkins is a Viet Nam veteran who received the Medal of Honor for his actions on January 6, 1969. For those not familiar with this award, the Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration awarded by the United States government. It is bestowed by the United States Congress on members of the United States Armed Forces who distinguish themselves through "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his or her life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States." The only purpose of the luncheon is to have the opportunity for us(KSP, KSP family and friends) to meet S/Sgt. Jenkins and express our appreciation for his service to our country. There are only 80 living recipients of the Medal of Honor. Trooper Brian McKinney, who was assigned to Post 16 and is now at Post 3, is a friend of S/Sgt. Jenkins who is currently living in Morgantown. It is considered as a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet Jenkins. Following is S/Sgt. Jenkins’ citation: Don Jenkins, MEDAL OF HONOR VIETNAM JANUARY 6, 1969 MEDAL OF HONOR CITATION SGT. DON JENKINS For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. S/Sgt. Jenkins (then Pfc.), Company A, distinguished himself while serving as a machine gunner on a reconnaissance mission. When his company came under heavy crossfire from an enemy complex, S/Sgt. Jenkins unhesitatingly maneuvered forward to a perilously exposed position and began placing suppressive fire on the enemy. When his own machine gun jammed, he immediately obtained a rifle and continued to fire into the enemy bunkers until his machine gun was made operative by his assistant. He exposed himself to extremely heavy fire when he repeatedly both ran and crawled across open terrain to obtain resupplies of ammunition until he had exhausted all that was available for his machine gun. Displaying tremendous presence of Continued March 2014 The Kentucky Trooper Page 47 Luncheon Held to Honor Veteran mind, he then armed himself with 2 antitank weapons and, by himself, maneuvered through the hostile fusillade to within 20 meters of an enemy bunker to destroy that position. After moving back to the friendly defensive perimeter long enough to secure yet another weapon, a grenade launcher, S/Sgt. Jenkins moved forward to a position providing no protection and resumed placing accurate fire on the enemy until his ammunition was again exhausted. During this time he was seriously wounded by shrapnel. Undaunted and displaying great courage, he moved forward 100 meters to aid a friendly element that was pinned down only a few meters from the enemy. This he did with complete disregard for his own wound and despite having been advised that several previous rescue attempts had failed at the cost of the life of 1 and the wounding of others. Ignoring the continuing intense fire and his painful wounds, and hindered by darkness, he made 3 trips to the beleaguered unit, each time pulling a wounded comrade back to safety. S/Sgt. Jenkins' extraordinary valor, dedication, and indomitable spirit inspired his fellow soldiers to repulse the determined enemy attack and ultimately to defeat the larger force. S/Sgt. Jenkins risk of his life reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the U.S. Army. S/Sgt. Don J. Jenkins, then and today. Captain Robert Shoultz presents Jenkins with an Honorary KSP plaque at luncheon. Page 48 The Kentucky Trooper www.ksppa.com Team KAM Barely Edges River View Coal for the Win!

March 2014 The Kentucky Trooper Page 57 Trooper Island Teams Up with Delta Dental D elta Dental of Kentucky has presented the Kentucky State Police with a check for $15,000 to support oral hygiene at the agency’s Trooper Island Camp. The funding was awarded to assist the camp with its efforts to be a place where the youth of Kentucky can come and forget the tensions and turmoil of their everyday lives and for one week experience a touch of hope and desire of a better tomorrow. “The assistance provided by Delta Dental of Kentucky allows us to continue our efforts to change young lives throughout the Commonwealth,” says KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer. “Their generosity not only helps us provide a unique camping environment for underprivileged youth throughout our state, but also assists us in providing oral hygiene products and instruction to each camper.” “We are proud of the great work being done on Trooper Island,” said Cliff Maesaka, CEO of Delta Dental of Kentucky. “It supports our mission to improve the overall oral health of children across Kentucky. Many of the campers have very poor or sometimes non-existent oral hygiene habits. This is a rare opportunity to provide each child with the oral health education and hygiene products they desperately need to be healthy.” Delta Dental of Kentucky, with affiliates in Arkansas, Indiana, Michigan, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio and Tennessee, is collectively among the largest dental plan administrators in the nation. In 2013, the enterprise paid out nearly $3 billion for dental care for 12.1 million enrollees.
