ISP Superintendent Paul Whitesell Update:
The Man:
On January 10, 2005, Governor Mitch Daniels appointed Dr. Paul E. Whitesell to serve as the 19th Superintendent of the Indiana State Police. He is a 30-year police veteran and world-renown trainer for law enforcement and the U.S. military.
Dr. Whitesell most recently worked as a member of the Chief's staff with the Fort Wayne Police Department. During his tenure with the Fort Wayne department, he served as police psychotherapist and a member of the academy staff. His responsibilities included implementing educational courses on topics ranging from human behavior and psychological issues to instructor development and defensive tactics.
Dr. Whitesell also served as a lieutenant at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy, and worked eight years with the Indiana State Police, where he was a training sergeant, head defensive tactics instructor and Emergency Response Team leader. He has also worked as a university police officer and an Allen County Sheriff's deputy. During Dr. Whitesell's law enforcement career, his duties have included confinement officer, motorcycle officer, K-9 officer, and firearms instructor.
Dr. Whitesell is a licensed clinical social worker and a licensed marriage and family therapist. Since 1991, his practice has been almost exclusively police related. He has also served as associate professor with Indiana University and as adjunct instructor at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
The Recent Actions:
With State Police Superintendent Paul Whitesell requesting increased interstate patrols, the state police post in Pendleton, Ind., has announced it will begin unannounced saturation patrols as well as increased rush-hour patrols in Hamilton, Hancock and Madison counties.
I, John Q. Public can attest to the patrols increased effectiveness. Since, I have been pulled over three times in the past 2 months, receiving one warning and two tickets.
I recently had a friend forward me a quote from Dr. Whitesell, made at a memorial service for a fallen officer. "Those of us who maintain a dangerous lifestyle will experience fear and anxiety. But, to do so, allows us to join a fraternity of those who have, since the beginning of man's time, endured...They endured. We endured. It is the cost of the privilege of such company." Paul Whitesell 1988
Yes, brothers and sisters, there is a new lawman in town and he is making his presence known. Drive careful and watch your speed, they are. That, and the ol' boy has big ol' balls & he aint afearing no man, shame it took Mitch to bring him in.
