First things first. I’m usually the one that writes most of our posts or shares all the things. I usually write them in third person. Today, I’m writing this straight from my heart. Long post ahead.

14 years ago I clocked in for the Kiowa County Sheriff’s Office as a night dispatcher. I had 6 years of experience when I got here. I worked in a county that had three dispatchers on at once. This was eye opening for me, as it would just be me running the show. In that first year, I learned so much more, and found a respect for one seat dispatch centers I never had before. Lois Morehead welcomed me with open arms and she soon became family. My Sheriff, Kendal, apparently thought he needed to go see what the great state offered and left the next year. I saw many people come and go. 2021 rolled around and Kendal came back. This time I was in the Office Manager/Dispatch Supervisor roll. I was the only one that had stayed the whole time since he had left. Today, I celebrate my 14 years with the Kiowa County Sheriff’s Office. Through the ups and downs, changes, and everything in between, I wouldn’t change a thing. Kendal allows me to take part in many boards and other activities to advocate for 911. He has paved that road for me by leading by example. What I’m trying to say is this, thank you Kiowa County for allowing me to serve you. To be apart of your community and helping you on your worst days. Thank you Kendal for giving me the opportunity. Here’s to many more!
