CAMPBELLSBURG, Ky. (11/11/2022) –On November 9, Governor Andy Beshear and the Kentucky State Police (KSP) recognized 31 troopers and officers who have been promoted into leadership roles since Nov. 1, 2021, including one major, two captains, three lieutenants, and 25 sergeants with a mission of creating a better Kentucky through public safety efforts and service to all Kentuckians.
During the ceremony, KSP Commissioner Phillip Burnett, Jr. encouraged the recently promoted leaders to continue leading by example, putting integrity and honesty first and making Kentucky’s safety the utmost priority.
“As I look out at you today, I see leaders who will continually instill the highest levels of professionalism into those they lead,” said Commissioner Burnett. “I see leaders that will ensure those they lead provide public safety for all citizens of the commonwealth. I am proud of the work you have put into this promotional process and look forward to seeing how you will impact this agency.”
Post 5 area promotions include:
- Trooper John E. Adams was promoted to sergeant and is assigned to Post 5, Campbellsburg.
- Trooper Joseph F. Brown was promoted to sergeant and is assigned to Post 5, Campbellsburg.
- Trooper Zachary E. Lusk was promoted to sergeant and is assigned to the Aircraft Branch.
Post 5 Commander, Eric Walker said,
Troopers Brown and Adams bring 11 years and 17 years of individual experience respectively to their new positions; making them well prepared to take on their new first-line supervision roles at Post 5.
Their tenure positions them as a ready and reliable resource for the Post 5 Troopers charged with protecting and serving within our post area.
Having worked with these men I know them to be leaders of the highest caliber; dedicated and committed to fulfilling the Kentucky State Police Mission of Service, they stand ready to lead with commitment to meeting the needs of our Post 5 communities.
KSP’s focus this year is to maintain and strengthen its essential workforce in order to better provide public safety, maintain critical services and better reflect the diverse communities that KSP serves.
