SEARCH is pleased to announce the appointment of Pennsylvania State Police Lieutenant Kyle L. Kutz to the SEARCH Membership Group.
Lt. Kutz is Director of the Criminal Records and Identification Division within the State Police Bureau of Records and Identification. His appointment to the SEARCH Membership Group by Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is effective January 4, 2025.
Lt. Kutz replaces Pennsylvania’s previous SEARCH representative, Lt. Earl H. Rhoades, who had served in that role since March 2024.
SEARCH Members and Staff welcome and congratulate Lt. Kutz on his appointment.
The SEARCH Membership Group, the governing body of SEARCH, is comprised of one appointee from each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the territories (selected by the jurisdiction’s governor or director of the agency housing the state criminal history record repository), as well as eight at-large appointees selected by SEARCH’s Chair. This national body of state-level professionals is widely representative of the various disciplines within the justice system, and many are responsible for operational decisions and policymaking concerning the management and sharing of criminal justice information.
