Originally pursuing a master’s in education in 2007, Loan’s path to policing was driven by a deep commitment to public service. He plans to modernize the force with data-driven, proactive policing while tackling recruitment and retention challenges that plague rural law enforcement. With roots in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom and a career trajectory from trooper to top leadership, Loan brings firsthand insight into the state’s unique needs. Birmingham, who led the agency since 2015, praised Loan’s readiness and the troopers’ dedication, as Governor Scott and Commissioner Morrison laud Loan’s vision for a stronger, more resilient Vermont State Police.
