The Chester County Sheriff’s Office has appointed Kevin Creighton as Captain, bringing over 30 years of law enforcement experience to the agency.

Creighton joins the Sheriff’s Office following a distinguished career with the Pennsylvania State Police, where he mostly served as Captain and Director of Operational Training with the Bureau of Training and Education. In that role, he oversaw statewide training operations, supervised instructional staff across multiple facilities, and managed critical areas including use-of-force review, emergency vehicle incident analysis, and personnel accountability.

Throughout his career, Creighton has held key leadership positions at every rank, including trooper, corporal, sergeant, lieutenant, and captain. He has supervised large-scale patrol operations, led high-risk incident responses, and directed academy training programs responsible for developing and maintaining operational standards across the agency.

He has also served on multiple policy and promotional committees, contributing to agency standards, curriculum development, and organizational governance.

Creighton holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Temple University and has been recognized by the Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner for leadership and service during major operations, including national level-security events and critical incident responses.

“Captain Creighton brings a strong background in leadership, training, and accountability,” said Chester County Sheriff Kevin D. Dykes. “His experience at the command level and his focus on operational standards will be a valuable addition to the Sheriff’s Office.”
