KSP Post 15 welcomes Jessica Andrew From Trooper Jonathan Houk The Kentucky State Police (KSP) announced 14 telecommunicators, representing eight posts across the commonwealth, have graduated from the KSP Telecommunications Academy and are ready to begin answering the call for assistance to both citizens and law enforcement throughout the commonwealth. The Post 15 graduate of the 21st KSP Telecommunications Academy was Jessica S. Andrew, of Adair County. Andrew is a graduate of Russell County High School. She is the daughter of Carrie and Calvin Burton. After each class, the 'Charlotte Tanner Valedictorian' Award is presented to the graduate who earned the highest-class GPA and demonstrated extraordinary effort during the KSP Telecommunications Academy. The award is named in honor of the founder of the KSP telecommunications program, Charlotte Tanner, who served the commonwealth for more than 50 years as a telecommunicator, radio room supervisor, and instructor. This year's Charlotte Tanner Valedictorian Award has been awarded to Jessica Andrew, with a grade point average of 96%. The graduates of Class 21 received 160 hours of instruction over four weeks. Major training areas include legal liability, limits of telecommunicator authority, telecommunicator's role in public safety, interpersonal communications, customer service, combating stress and PTSD, ethics and confidentiality, responder safety, basic fire dispatch, state emergency operation plans, criminal justice information systems, first aid training, emergency medical dispatch and special needs callers. During the academy, graduates were required to successfully process scripted calls for service and demonstrate proficiency in obtaining pertinent information, dispatching responders, providing emergency medical dispatch if needed, and correctly documenting information from the call for assistance. The training concluded with a computer simulation system that simulates their work environment in the radio room. "Telecommunicators from the sixteen state police posts provide a link and a lifeline for the public to the vital emergency services they may need," says KSP Telecommunications Training Instructor Jason Long. "Telecommunicators are unseen, but often heard, first responders to any incident and can provide lifesaving information at a moment's notice.

The starting salary for KSP telecommunicators ranges from $27,733 to $33,559 annually based on experience, plus a $3,100 training stipend after successful completion of the Telecommunications Academy. Additional benefits include paid holidays, paid vacation, paid sick leave and the opportunity to earn compensatory pay. The requirements to become a KSP telecommunicator include:
The number one priority for KSP is to create a better Kentucky by making the commonwealth's streets safer, communities stronger and the nation more secure by providing exceptional law enforcement made up of a diverse workforce.
