About

I am a 42-year-old wife and mother of two adult sons. My husband and I are very proud parents. Our oldest son is in college himself. He works full-time and owns his home. Following high school, our youngest received his welding certification and works full-time. As for myself, I work for the El Reno Police Department and have for the last 16 years. My full-time position is that of an emergency 911 communications officer. I answer 911 calls and dispatch police, fire, and medical services. On a part-time basis, I also am employed in the same department as an evidence technician. I enjoy the challenge of organizing evidence and submitting it to our state crime lab. Maintaining the integrity of the evidence is my highest priority as an evidence technician.
