Peru – Every great organization has valuable people who work behind the scenes to make everyday operations run smoothly. For the Indiana State Police those valuable individuals are the civilian employees who do everything from answering the telephone to analyzing D.N.A.

She held that position until her recent retirement. As the district secretary, Keller was required to perform a host of duties including payroll, data input, greeting foot traffic at the post, answering phone lines, crash records input, manage information and documents required by the Department, assists troopers with case reports, and many other duties as assigned.
