Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. On Monday, November 21st, KSP Post 9 recruited two new troopers. Tanner Wood and Cameron Whitaker are now following their desired career paths as members of East Kentucky's law enforcement. Public Affairs Officer Michael Coleman shares his thoughts on the recruits. Yes, we've got two new troopers starting today. It's an exciting time for us because it's new guys here at Post, and for the community it means more coverage out on the road. I know for them it's a very exciting time. There's a lot of times throughout your career that you'll remember things, but you'll never forget the day you graduate, the day you start work. After completing basic training, these two young men can now call themselves state troopers. Both are looking forward to protecting and serving their community. Being a state trooper has been a dream my whole life. Watching Dad do it, since I was a little kid. He done it for 20-some years, and it's always been a dream of mine, and I've made it come true. Getting all the basics down right now and later on down the road. I think canine's pretty cool working with dogs, kind of a big dog person, so maybe canine later down the road. But as of right now, I know just working on the basics right now. It's just always been a dream. You see all the people walking around in gray, all the troopers walk in gray, and gray just means different. You see uniform and you know that they mean business. And I've always just looked at them and looked up to them and just wanted to be a part of it. I just want to help people out and help them as much as I can. Not all people want help, but the people that do. I just want to be able to be there for them and do what I can for them, hopefully change their day, make their day better.
