Two newly trained telecommunicators are joining Kentucky State Police Post 3 in Bowling Green, adding staff to the team that answers emergency calls and dispatches troopers for Barren County and the surrounding area.
Kassidy White and Dannielle Clark are both graduates in the 26 Class of the Telecommunications Academy, which involved 160 hours of instruction over four weeks. Twenty-two telecommunicators were in this graduating class, according to a state police press release.
In 2025, state police telecommunicators answered nearly one million telephone calls, leading to more than 532,600 requests for assistance, according to the release. Those calls involve dispatching troopers, commercial vehicle enforcement officers, conservation officers and other public safety partners.
“Behind every emergency response is a telecommunicator working with precision and professionalism,” Kentucky State Police Commissioner Phillip Burnett Jr. said. “These graduates are stepping into a role that requires focus, compassion and quick decision-making. We are proud to welcome them to our team and look forward to the impact they will have across Kentucky.”
