The Kentucky State Police announced that three recent telecommunications graduates would be assigned to Post 3, which serves Allen, Barren, Butler, Edmonson, Hart, Logan, Simpson, and Warren counties.
Breanna Sexton, John Kierman and Malak Salman are among the 17 graduates that will be assigned to state police posts all across the commonwealth.
Graduates of Class 25 completed 160 hours of instruction over four weeks, covering essential topics such as legal liability, telecommunicator authority limits, their role in public safety, interpersonal communications, customer service, stress management and PTSD, ethics and confidentiality, responder safety, basic fire dispatch, emergency operation plans, criminal justice information systems, first aid and emergency medical dispatch, according to the release.
Telecommunicators are responsible for dispatching state troopers, commercial vehicle enforcement officers, conservation officers and other emergency service agencies, who last year answered over 1.2 million calls, leading to more than 406,000 requests for assistance.
