Problem with LSP is that hiring and promotions are not based on merit,rather it’s all about who you know,classic case of cronyism.
After the Edmonson fiasco,Col.Reeves was promoted and touted as a paragon of integrity and honesty.
Couple years go by,his son gets an untimely transfer to detectives, he claims not to have been involved.The thing is,the transfer of his son was orchestrated by Captains that had been recently promoted by Reeves,couple received subsequent promotions after the fact.
Troopers are constantly being arrested or named in questionable incidents.The latest I’ve read about is Lt.Col. Jason Starnes wife being given a large and questionable raise by OMV.
It seems like the entire LSP needs to be dissolved and start over from scratch,I don’t know how that would be possible however.
It’s sad,I want to respect the police and they do put theirselves out there in dangerous situations .But at same time,every time I see a trooper,I wonder who they knew to get their job.
