Cadets Graduate from KSP Training Academy Dean Lunz Jr., of Edmonton, KY, and Aron Jones, of Somerset, KY, will be assigned to KSP Post 15 in Columbia. Lunz is Salutatorian and was recognized with the Ernie Bivens Award for Cadet Class 99. Jones was one of 11 cadets to earn an Associates degree during his training. By Sergeant Josh Lawson Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky State Police Academy presented diplomas to 48 new troopers at a graduation ceremony held in Frankfort today. The graduates consisted of a traditional class beginning on May 12, 2019 and a Law Enforcement Accelerated Program (LEAP) class, joining on August 4, 2019. Applicants for the fifth LEAP class were required to have two years of service in Kentucky and completion of their DOCJT training no later than May 1, 2017. The total number of graduates were among the 89 who initially reported. KSP Commissioner Rick Sanders addressed the cadets during graduation and talked about two pieces of equipment they were issued. "Each of these cadets has been issued a name plate and badge that is placed upon their uniform. The badge is critically important and has two sides. The side that faces inward toward your heart is to remind you to always have a servant's heart. The other side has 'Kentucky State Police' embossed on it and it is to remind you that you represent the Commonwealth of Kentucky." Sanders went on to challenge the cadets in reference to their name plate on their uniform. "Protect and honor that name that appears on your name plate. Never forget your family name and always keep it in your heart when you are doing your job. Reputation and character means everything," added Sanders. KSP Academy Commander Kyle Nall said training cadets to become a Trooper involves much more than the day-to-day tasks of a law enforcement career. "We invest in the lives of our cadets to ensure that they possess the physical, mental, and ethical standards which our agency strives to promote'" said Nall. "We want men and women who are prepared to make the world a better place, and in order to achieve that, we have to convince them to leave their own preconceived limitations behind once their training begins." Nall went on to say that the two ladies and forty-six gentlemen graduating today should be proud of this accomplishment. "The impact they will leave starts tomorrow and I look forward to watching their careers develop and seeing all of the remarkable things they are capable of achieving over the duration of their careers." Several members of the class earned special recognition including: Valedictorian
Two new troopers received the Ernie Bivens Award. This honor is presented to a cadet in each class 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 recipients are:
Eleven cadets earned Associate's Degrees in General Occupational and Technical Studies from the Bluegrass Community and Technical College during the training. They include:
The cadets are the third group to benefit from new hiring guidelines established by the legislature in 2017. Through this revision, anyone who possesses a high school diploma or GED and has three years of full-time work experience can apply for employment as a Kentucky State Trooper and earn an associate's degree during the training process.
