Troopers From Versailles Post Honored At Yearly Awards Ceremony

The awards ceremony was held last Friday.

(Versailles, Ind.) – Seven troopers from the Versailles District were honored at the annual Indiana State Police Awards Ceremony.

Among them was Senior Trooper Randel Miller, who was named the 2020 Trooper of the District for the Versailles Post.

Miller and his K-9 Jinx, initiated numerous criminal investigations which led to the removal of illegal drugs and guns from local roadways.

Lt. Paul Adams, Indiana State Police-Versailles District Commander, stated, “Trooper Miller’s work ethic and dedication to the overall mission of the Indiana State Police has undoubtedly made our communities safer by pursuing those who are conducting criminal activities in our area.”

Five additional troopers were given awards as result of an incident in November 2019 in Jefferson County. The incident took place at a home on State Road 56 where a man was barricaded inside a residence with a gun.

During the incident, the suspect shot and wounded Master Trooper Joseph Livers. He was awarded a Purple Heart and Combat Action Award as result of the incident.

Lieutenant Paul Adams, Master Troopers Rick Stockdale, Mark True, and Brent Lykins were also awarded with Combat Action Awards for providing aid to Livers.

Following a review of older incident, Sergeant Don Gregory was awarded a Combat Action Award for an incident that occurred in October 2002.
