PRESIDENT'S
PONDERINGS
By Col. 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

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.

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).

“Today, law enforcement is a very courageous and noble profession,” she observes. “I would urge

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

“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.”

“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.”

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.

State Troopers Held A Beauty
Contest For Their Cruisers
By Katie Bascuas / Jul 18, 2014
Reprinted with permission. 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.”

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.

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.

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.”

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.”

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.

Kentucky Special Operations, Kevin Nally. This article is

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.

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.

KSPPA Assists with
“Christmas at Panther Creek”
By Blake Smith
V
olunteers from Post 16 and members of KSPPA District 16 volunteered their time from November
28th through December 4th to collect
admission into the “Christmas at Panther
Creek” program in Daviess County. The
event is a light show at Panther Creek
Park that is held from the Friday following Thanksgiving through the first week
of January.
Non-profit organizations applied to
work the admission gate and to receive a
portion of the funds collected for their
organization. KSPPA District 16 was one
of 5 organizations selected. The funds
were presented to each agency by Daviess
County Judge Executive, Al Mattingly at
the January Fiscal Court Meeting.
KSPPA received a $970.00 check from Daviess County Parks and Recreation and
will utilize the funds during the 2015 Shop with a Trooper program. Special thanks to
Lindsey Smith, Zachary Jones, Debra Scott, Belinda Littrell and April Taylor, Lauren
Harney, Lesley Harney, Marshall Smith and Janie Smith who volunteered their time.

Post 16's Citizen's Police Academy
By Trooper Corey King, Public Affairs Officer, Post 16-Henderson
P
ost 16’s sixth Citizen’s Police Academy learned about performing traffic stops before going
live with a paintball style simuntion course. 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.

entucky State Police added 11 troopers to
the agency roster August 1, 2014, as part of
the ‘Trooper R Class’ Program, which is
defined as a Kentucky State Police officer, who
retired from service as a commissioned officer
under KRS Chapter 16. 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.

Troopers Complete Grand Canyon
Hike Raising $15,000
By Trooper Corey King, Public Affairs Officer, Post 16-Henderson
K
entucky State Police Commissioner Rodney
Brewer and Lt. 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. For

KSP Collects 116 Tons
of Food During Food Drive
By Trooper Corey King, Public Affairs Officer, Post 16-Henderson
K
entucky State Police Commissioner
Rodney
Brewer
announced
Thursday that the agency’s ‘Cram
the Cruiser’ food drive netted 232,011
pounds (116 tons) of food statewide
Brewer initiated the program in 2010
to assist needy families in the local post
and region areas. 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.”

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

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.

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.
