Randall J. Adams is KSP 2018 Civilian Employee of the Year Kentucky State Police Announce Civilian Employee of the Year and Other Awards. Somerset resident/Columbia native takes top honor By Sgt. Josh Lawson Lexington, KY - Fourteen civilian employees were honored today by the Kentucky State Police at a ceremony in Lexington highlighting their performance and public service during the past year. Somerset resident Randall J. Adams was named 2018 KSP Civilian Employee of the Year. A 29-year veteran of the agency, Adam is a Police Telecommunicator II at KSP Post 15 in Columbia. A Columbia, KY, native, Adams is a 1978 graduate of Adair Co. High School and a 1983 graduate of Campbellsville University. He is the son of the late Jessie Adams of Columbia and Verlene Adams of Somerset. Adams distinguished himself during a 2017 incident when a military veteran, who suffered from PTSD, told his family that he was going to commit suicide somewhere in Cumberland County. Unable to make contact with the subject by phone, Adams left a voice mail message that he was also a veteran and just wanted to help. A short time later, the subject returned the call stating that he had already shot himself in the chest. Through labored breathing, the subject described his surroundings and Adams was able to direct troopers to the location. The subject was transported from the scene and received medical treatment that saved his life. "The Kentucky State Police has a wide array of individuals with diverse talents and skills who contribute to our public safety mission on a daily basis," said KSP Commissioner Rick Sanders. "Without them, our success would be impossible. I thank each of them for their service."
