Christopher Freije has been hired as an assistant coach with the Lindsey Wilson College wrestling program, Blue Raider head coach Corey Ruff announced on Wednesday.
“Chris is very passionate about the sport and comes with a great deal of experience,” Ruff said. “Our program philosophy centers around two defining qualities; intensity and integrity, and Chris is going to help enhance both of those qualities as well as our identity.” Freije comes to Lindsey Wilson with extensive experience at both the collegiate and high school level. He previously worked as an assistant coach with Mesa High School in Mesa, Ariz., where he helped coach a pair of Arizona High School State Champions in 2015. Prior to his time at Mesa, Freije served as the head assistant coach at Colorado Mesa University, an NCAA Division II institution in Grand Junction, Colo., from 2010-2014. At Colorado Mesa, Freije coached six NCAA Division II All-Americans, three conference and super region champions and a conference and super region freshman of the year while assisting with all aspects of the daily responsibilities within the wrestling program. Freije also served as an assistant coach with the Western State Colorado University wrestling program from 2009-10 where he helped coach three NCAA Division II All-Americans, three conference champions and one national champion. Prior to entering the coaching ranks, Freije found success on the mat as he was an Arizona High School State Champion, a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Super Region Individual Champion and an NCAA Division II national finalist his senior season at Western State Colorado University. “Chris will be extremely valuable in every aspect of coaching and this program is very lucky to have someone of his caliber,” Ruff said. Kentucky State Police Commissioner Rodney Brewer announced a new mobile smartphone app today that will change the way KSP interacts with the public. The app is available in both the Apple© and Google Play© stores free of charge and allows citizens to report criminal activity, access forms and submit confidential tips in multiple formats. The application is titled ‘KSPOLICE’ and is available for iPhone, iPad and Android phone users. Some of the app features include a voice messaging tip line, the ability to send a photo tip, access to the sex offender registry and much more. One component of the app that Brewer is most excited about is the ability to geo-target specific locations within the Commonwealth with emergency push notifications. “We can now choose a specific city, county, region or even a particular building and geo-target that location with an emergency push notification message,” says Brewer. “Think about how beneficial this can be to our citizens in regard to traffic issues, severe weather, missing persons or escaped prisoner notifications.” Brewer says the mobile app will enhance the partnership that KSP currently has with local communities by providing an easier, more practical way to send information. "With the public’s eyes and ears, we receive crucial information that assists us in solving crimes,” adds Brewer. “This is community policing at its finest for a safer Kentucky. That was the driving force behind this app.” The KSP app was developed by The Meers Agency, a full-service digital marketing company based in Louisville, Ky. David Meers, president of The Meers Agency, was instrumental in providing a platform for enhanced interaction between KSP and the public. “This mobile application allows an easy to use, convenient way for KSP to bring law enforcement closer to the community,” says Meers. “We believe the KSP mobile app will provide a mechanism for positive interactions with the public and ultimately lead to more arrests of the bad guys.” Brewer encourages citizens to download the app and actively participate in crime prevention within their home communities. The app does not replace 911 for emergency situations. “Keep in mind, when emergencies come up and life is at stake, we want people to utilize the 911 system. In no way is this mobile app a replacement for that service,” he explains. The global smartphone audience surpassed the one billion mark in 2012 and totaled 1.75 billion in 2014. It is anticipated that mobile will overtake fixed internet access in 2015. ComScore data indicates that 82 percent of mobile phone usage is spent via a mobile app. Tpr.
