Hi! I am Kelly Taylor. I was born and raised in Hershey, Pennsylvania. As a teenager I spent my summer working at Hershey Park. I got to work in the rides department which was a lot of fun. While working there I got to be friends with a lot of the security guards (most of which were doing internships for Criminal Justice). After talking to them about college I decided that I wanted to be go to college and major in Criminal Justice.
I attended Penn State University for 4 years and earned my degree. Immediately after college I was accepted into the Pennsylvania State Police Academy. After 6 months of academy I graduated number 5 in my class. The top three get to choose where they are first stationed, but I did not. Originally I was sent to Erie, PA. Because I was 5th though, I could put in my transfer after 6 months. As soon as I was eligible I put in my transfer to Harrisburg. Everything went through and I began working out of the Harrisburg Barracks in April of 2008. It was good to be home again.
