🚨💛 DISPATCHER SPOTLIGHT: MEET EVAN! 💛🚨

The face behind the voice when you call 911! 📞

Today, the Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office is proud to shine the spotlight on one of our dedicated dispatchers, Evan!

Evan has been with our department for almost a year, and in that short time, he has embraced one of the most challenging and important jobs in public safety. His dedication, compassion, and commitment to helping others have already made a positive impact on countless lives throughout our community.

What inspired Evan to become a dispatcher?

Growing up, Evan enjoyed listening to a police scanner, which sparked his interest in law enforcement and emergency services. After spending three years working as a lifeguard, he discovered that helping people was truly where his heart was. Looking for a new challenge and an opportunity to make a meaningful difference, Evan decided to pursue a career in dispatch.

How does Evan stay calm during stressful emergency calls?

Evan shared that knowing he has done his very best to help someone is what keeps him grounded. He understands that remaining calm is essential because the person on the other end of the phone is depending on him to get help on the way.

What does Evan enjoy outside of work? 🌊🥾

When he’s not answering emergency calls, you’ll likely find Evan enjoying the outdoors, surfing or hiking!

Is Evan a night owl or a morning person? ☀️

Definitely a morning person! Evan enjoys jumping out of bed and being ready to take on the day.

What’s his go-to snack during a long shift? 🌈

Rainbow Goldfish crackers, for sure! Sometimes it’s the little things that help get you through a busy shift!

What advice would Evan give someone considering a career in dispatch?

“Always remember that you’re here to help. It’s somebody else’s emergency, and you’re there to do your very best job and send help when they need it.”

💛 Evan, we couldn’t have said it better ourselves!

Being a dispatcher requires patience, compassion, quick thinking, and the ability to remain calm when others are experiencing some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

Evan, thank you for stepping up to the challenge and choosing to serve our community. Your positive attitude, dedication, and genuine desire to help others are exactly what make you such a valuable part of our team.

Please join us in recognizing Evan and thanking him for the important work he does behind the scenes every day!

👏 Thank you, Evan, for being one of the calm voices behind the call!

🚨💛 DISPATCHER SPOTLIGHT: MEET SARAH! 💛🚨

Today, the Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office is proud to highlight one of the dedicated voices behind the radio and phone, Dispatcher Sarah!

Sarah brings 20 years of experience in law enforcement, having served in several capacities, including as a Probation Officer and Correctional Deputy. Her diverse background has given her a unique understanding of public safety and the importance of being there when someone needs help most.

When asked what she enjoys most about being a dispatcher, Sarah shared that it’s the opportunity to help her community.

💬 “I am the first person to send help on someone’s worst day.”

Sarah also wants the public to know something they may not realize about dispatchers: They often handle multiple calls at the same time! Behind every emergency response is a dispatcher working hard to coordinate help, communicate with responders, and keep everyone safe.

🥎 Outside of work, Sarah enjoys playing softball and traveling out of town with her teammates for tournaments.

⚡ Her secret to getting through a long shift? Rockstar Punched Blackberry energy drinks! A very specific favorite!

❤️ What makes working at the Sheriff’s Office special to Sarah?

“They are my second family, and everyone here supports each other.”

Sarah’s experience, dedication, and commitment to serving others make her a valued member of our Sheriff’s Office family.

Thank you, Sarah, for your years of service, your compassion, and for being a steady voice when our community needs it most!

👏 Join us in showing Sarah some appreciation!
