Three local Kentucky State troopers from post nine were recognized for their efforts last Thursday. Tuesday we spoke with public affairs officer Michael Coleman about the sworn award ceremony and those troopers' achievements. So each day troopers from post nine go out and they go above and beyond their normal call of duty. These awards were to recognize these troopers for their outstanding work ethic and some of their acts of bravery that occurred in 2020. So troopers children detective Hamilton, those awards are to award you for the outstanding work ethic they had throughout the year and different investigations they may have worked throughout the year. Trooper Maynard actually received a life saving award. That was an instance where a female was inside a residence and was needing medical aid. The first one on the scene was able to enter the home and render aid to her until EMS could get there. Post nine commander Randall Serber said he's proud of the commitment and efforts of these units. Serber added these troopers along with every trooper at the Pikeville Post strive daily to serve the citizens of our communities. For Mountain Top News, I'm Joel Chorjol.
