Having become exemplary of the bond that is possible between a community and its law enforcement, a public information officer who has served 34 years in Lafayette with the Indiana State Police is retiring.
Sergeant Kim Riley officially retires on Nov. 16, a full 34 years to the day since he graduated from the 44th Indiana State Police Recruit Academy in 1986, the state police department said in a statement. However, the officer hung up his hat for the last time on Sept. 18.
