First Female Fraud Investigator Joins Kentucky Office of Insurance

Sheryl E. Gordon of Louisville, Ky. has become the first female fraud investigator in Kentucky Office of Insurance history.

“We are extremely proud of Gordon’s accomplishments and look forward to the contributions she will make in the important role of fraud investigator,” Glenn Jennings, KOI executive director said.

According to Jennings, Gordon was a member of the latest class to graduate from the Department of Criminal Justice Law Enforcement Basic Training Academy. The class of 20 graduated Jan. 20, following a 16-week, 660-hour course held at Eastern Kentucky University.

Major training areas were law offenses and procedures, vehicle operations, firearms, investigation, first aid/CPR, patrol procedures and mechanics of arrest, restraint and control. While in the training course, Gordon was a squad leader and class special projects officer.

Gordon joined the KOI Insurance Fraud Investigation Division in June 2005. She previously worked for the Department of Corrections as a probation and parole officer. Prior to that, she worked at the Cabinet for Families and Children as a social worker.
