Jacob Harper, KSP Academy Valedictorian assigned to Post 15 Columbia, KY Jacob Harper, of Somerset, KY, has been named class valedictorian. He will be assigned to Post 15 in Columbia. By Sgt. Josh Lawson Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky State Police Academy presented diplomas to 42 new troopers at ceremonies held in Frankfort today. Their addition to the force brings the agency's strength to a total of 874 troopers serving the citizens of the Commonwealth. Several members of the class earned special recognitions including valedictorian Jacob Harper, of Somerset, Ky., and salutatorian Jarrod Lewis, of London, Ky. Harper also 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. The new troopers are part of the agency's 96th cadet class. They reported for training on Jan. 7, 2018 in a class that consisted of 75 cadets. Thirty-three resigned during the program. 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. Lt. Gov Jenean Hampton told the new troopers that they were coming on board during a time when the need for them was greater than ever. "Gov. Bevin and I are very grateful that you have chosen to serve," she said, "and the people of the Commonwealth of Kentucky have tremendous respect for what you do. God bless all of you and the family members that support you. John Holt, of Nebo, 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. Nine cadets earned Associate's Degrees in General Occupational and Technical Studies from the Bluegrass Community and Technical College during the training. They include:
