Gov. Matt Bevin Honors Fallen Troopers and Officers At Kentucky State Police Memorial Service Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By Les J. Williams FRANKFORT, KY (May 24, 2016) - Gov. Matt Bevin joined Justice Cabinet Secretary John Tilley and Kentucky State Police Commissioner Rick Sanders to remember fallen KSP troopers and officers at a memorial service and wreath-laying ceremony held today at the KSP Training Academy in Frankfort. Gov. Bevin praised the service and sacrifice of the 30 KSP troopers and officers who have died in the line of duty since the agency was established in 1948. "Each one represents a story of service to others, risks accepted and actions taken so that others would be safe," Gov. Bevin said. "They did not seek great rewards or easy lifestyles. They put on a uniform, devoting themselves to the timeless values upon which society is based -- respect, law, justice, peace and the value of human life. Their devotion was such that they gave their lives to protect these values. "The protection of our citizens is not just a job, it is a calling," Gov. Bevin explained. "The troopers and officers we are honoring answered that call willingly. Their lives made a positive difference for the citizens of Kentucky. We stand in awe of their courage and are grateful for their service. Their extraordinary sacrifice leaves a legacy that we must all strive to preserve. May we always honor them, embrace their memory and be ever faithful to the principles they stood for." Sec. Tilley thanked those who dedicate their lives to protecting the Commonwealth -- and their families -- for the daily sacrifices they make that often go unrecognized until a tragedy takes place. "Too often we don't say thank you for the very thing that makes law enforcement great -- that these men and women get up every day, put on the uniform and show up, just in case we need them," Tilley said. KSP Commissioner Rick Sanders reflected on his recent trip to Washington, DC for 'Police Week' events, where three KSP trooper names were added to the National Police Memorial Wall. "The many moving ceremonies held during Police Week reminded me that no matter what color the uniform may be, there is a special kinship among all fallen officer families. A bond that many here today intimately understand," said Sanders. "As I stand here in front of so many of our families, I can assure you that these fallen officers will not be forgotten," added Sanders. "This agency will always remember their honor, their courage and their sacrifice." Thirty Kentucky State Police troopers and officers have died in the line of duty since the agency was established in 1948. They include:
