In June 1995, Hornbrook graduated from the Indiana State Police Recruit Academy and was assigned to the Fort Wayne Post where he primarily patrolled Allen County. Hornbrook transferred to Evansville in November 1997 where he primarily patrolled Gibson and Posey Counties. He also served on the highway drug interdiction team between 2001 and 2004. Hornbrook was transferred to the drug enforcement section in April 2004 where he conducted drug investigations with other police agencies in southwest Indiana.
Sergeant Hornbrook will be responsible for supervising troopers in the drug enforcement section in Evansville, Jasper and Bloomington.
