This week, Kentucky State Police celebrated 31 troopers and officers who have been promoted throughout the year. Officials say this gives them a chance to move new perspectives into leadership positions. Not only was this a ceremony to recognize the promotions, it was also a time to thank the officers’ families for supporting them throughout the tough process. Those who were promoted include one lieutenant colonel, five majors, two captains, 10 lieutenants and 13 sergeants.
