Trooper assigned to Douglas County
The Kansas Highway Patrol has assigned Trooper Brandon Koch to Douglas County.
Koch received the assignment after completing a 22-week basic law-enforcement course at the patrol’s Training Academy in Salina.
Koch studied electrical engineering at Kansas State University, after graduating from Clifton-Clyde High School in Clyde. Before joining the patrol, he worked for two years as a foreman at Component Fabricators, Manhattan.
Trooper Josh Kellerman is supervising Koch’s field duties. Koch will assume patrol duties in the county once his field training is complete.
