Three local Indiana State troopers receive service awards

Three troopers from the Jasper District were honored Wednesday at an awards ceremony at the Indiana Government Center.

Master Trooper Thomas Campbell, Trooper Robert Lambert, and Trooper Jeremy Galloway were presented awards for their service to the State of Indiana.

Master Trooper Campbell was awarded as the 2013 Jasper District Trooper of the Year. This award was presented to Master Trooper Campbell for achieving outstanding enforcement efforts in the areas of traffic and criminal enforcement, case and crash investigations, public information programs and community service; and for exemplifying the professionalism and integrity expected of an Indiana State Trooper.

O.W.I. awards were presented to Troopers Lambert and Galloway for their efforts in removing impaired and intoxicated motorists from Indiana’s roadways. Trooper Lambert was recognized as the top Trooper in 2012 with 60 O.W.I. arrests, and Trooper Galloway was awarded for his efforts of arresting 54 impaired drivers in 2013.

The actions and dedication to duty of Master Trooper Campbell and of Troopers Lambert and Galloway are in keeping with the finest traditions of law enforcement and reflect great credit upon themselves and the Indiana State Police Department.
