While supplies last, two-year agreement required. Typically, when someone retires, it means they are never going back to their old job. However, some Kentucky State Police troopers find themselves in the position of wanting to continue to serve and protect after retirement. The Kentucky State Police Department offers a trooper reapplied program that allows those retired troopers to come back and remain active. KSP Post 9 now has two trooper R officers, trooper Billy Hall, and newly rehired trooper Mike Goble. I enjoy the state police, it's been really good to my family and I. My daughter was just an infant when I started the first time, she's now grown and have children of her own and that was one of the reasons that I wanted to come back is I have a four-year-old grandson and a two-year-old grandson and I wanted them to see me do the job that I've always done all my life and not just see me in a uniform in a picture. Trooper Mike Goble is from Martin County and originally started working at Post 9 in 1987. He continued working for 26 years before entering retirement. He says one thing he didn't like after retiring is being disconnected from the community. I've been excited about a lot of things but the part that I was most excited about was being able to get back out into the public and see people and talk with them and smile and have a good day and enjoy their company. Goble plans to remain active for at least five years. Reporting in Pikeville for EKB News, I'm Shelby Steele.
