63 new KSP troopers graduate; 7 coming to Columbia, KY Columbia Post 15 gets seven graduates: Nicholas B. Davis, Morris W. Farris, Jonathan P. Houk, Michael A. Moore, Justin L. Phillips, Christopher A. Saunders, and Ryan D. Wolking bringing the total number of troopers at Post 15 to 47. Two from Columbia, Joshua D. Dicken and Casey Wethington assigned to other posts. By Lt. David Jude, Media Relations Branch News from Kentucky State Police, Frankfort, KY The Kentucky State Police Academy presented diplomas to 63 new troopers at ceremonies held Friday, September 17, 2010 in Frankfort, KY. Their addition to the force brings the agency's strength to a total of 917 troopers serving the citizens of the Commonwealth. "Troopers have a diverse mission to protect, intervene, moderate, advocate, console, pre-empt, sacrifice, testify, encourage, assist and educate," said Gov. Steve Beshear. "That's why I have fought hard to protect public safety from devastating budget cuts. While many states are slashing public safety costs and some even laying off officers, we are working hard to help give law enforcement the tools they need to better serve Kentuckians." The new troopers started a 23-week training cycle on April 11, 2010 in a class that consisted of 90 cadets. Their 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, survival Spanish, 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. "Today we welcomed 63 new members of the 'Thin Gray Line,' who have become what others did not want to be and who will, no doubt, go where others would fear to go," said Secretary of Justice and Public Safety J. Michael Brown, who addressed the new troopers. "Their service will allow us to enjoy the freedoms of our Kentucky way of life as they safeguard our communities, our highways and our homes." "These new troopers stand on the shoulders of all those who have gone before them," added KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer. "We welcome them to our ranks as they take up the torch of law and order and carry it into the future." Several members of the class earned special recognitions including valedictorian Nicholas Davis, of Lexington, KY, and salutatorian Wesley Medley, of Glasgow, KY. Medley, who also served as class president, addressed the cadets and reminded them of the class motto, Earned, Never Given. "Everything we achieved, every accomplishment, every obstacle we overcame was earned, never given," he said. "We also learned that pain shared is pain divided and joy shared is joy multiplied." Jevin Keding, of Crescent, 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. Justin Phillips, of Elkhorn, KY, received the Commissioner's Commitment to Excellence Award, which is presented to the cadet who demonstrates leadership, the desire to get the job done and the determination to be the best every day.The following is a list of the new troopers, their duty assignments and their hometowns or residences: POST 1, MAYFIELD
According to Brewer, even with the addition of the new troopers, KSP is still below strength. "Although we remain understaffed from our authorized strength, we continually strive to provide the best service possible to the citizens of the Commonwealth." KSP is currently recruiting for a new cadet class that is scheduled to begin in late May of 2011. The deadline for applying is October 13, 2010.
