Civilian Employees Honored By State Police

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...At a ceremony held Wednesday at the Capital Plaza Hotel in Frankfort, 25 civilian employees were honored by the Kentucky State Police. Lori Hunsaker of Frankfort, a 17 year veteran of the agency, was named 2012 KSP Civilian Employee of the Year for her work in organizing relief efforts for victims of the March 2, 2012 tornados in eastern Kentucky. After the storms, she quickly organized a donation drive in which volunteer staff from KSP headquarters and Frankfort area employees went to West Liberty and personally delivered donated items to members of the community. Hunsaker's efforts resulted in 11 semi-trailers, eight box trucks and four school buses being filled with donations and delivered to Morgan, Menifee, Pendleton, Laurel, Floyd, Johnson, Grant and Kenton counties. She personally delivered items to more than 50 families in Morgan and Johnson counties.
