Lastly, is me, Krista Amaro. I’ve been dispatching for 18 years. I’ve spent 12 of those years right here in Kiowa County. I am the Office Manager/Dispatch Supervisor. I want to take the time to thank our community. Thank you Kiowa County for always showing us support and cheering for us. For taking care of us and making sure we don’t go without. We are some of the luckiest dispatchers as we don’t ever feel forgotten. Unfortunately, it’s not like that everywhere. We do know how lucky we are. Thank you for letting us help you and to be there for you. We are always a phone call away. We want the public to come see us, ask questions and learn. There is so much great technology out there these days. The small one seat dispatch centers are some of the hardest and most compassionate people I know. We are small but mighty! Thank you all again for letting me share my amazing folks with you. These people are amazing and I couldn’t do it without them. ... See MoreSee Less

Next we have Shallyn Richmond. Shallyn just celebrated her 6 month anniversary with us. She stared in mid-October last year. Shallyn came right in and tackled the task of learning to dispatch. She’s a Hello Kitty lover and video game junkie. She is a night time dispatcher and prefers it that way! She is originally from Massachusetts. She’s fun, sassy, caring, compassionate and so much more. When she’s not working, she loves spending time with her cat and her boyfriend. She’s the newest dispatcher but has taken a few hard calls already and did a great job. Thank you Shallyn for all you do. It’s also her birthday!!!! Happy 23rd Shallyn!! ... See MoreSee Less

Next up is Megan Sparks! Megan has been with us since last September. She use to work in the medical field. Megan is a caregiver through and through. She was a quick learner and jumped right in. She comes to work and gives her all every single day. She’s always willing to jump in and help out to cover a shift or stay late and help where it’s needed. When she’s not working, she’s spending time with her husband, kids and grandkids. Thank you Megan for all you do! ... See MoreSee Less
