Mississippi state troopers, Maj. Ken Brown and Capt. James Kelly, were recognized by Donate Life Mississippi for their efforts to register more Mississippians as organ, eye and tissue donors.

“Maj. Brown and Capt. Kelly have been instrumental in increasing donor designations in Mississippi through driver services,” said Chuck Stinson, the director of community services and relations for Mississippi Organ Recovery Agency. “DPS is responsible for 98% of the registrations across the state and this year we have seen a 2% increase in registrations per encounter thanks to the efforts of Maj. Brown, Capt. Kelly and their examiners.”
