Passing of Veteran Dispatcher Cindy Cline - June 8, 2009

Long-time Jefferson County (Colo.) sheriff's dispatcher Cindy Cline passed away this weekend after a short illness. She had 28 years of service with the sheriff's department, almost all as a Communications Unit Supervisor, and another five years of dispatching experience before that. She was very active in dispatcher training, both for her agency and at the state level. Ms. Cline was among the dispatchers who responded to the comm center on April 20, 1999 when 911 callers from Columbine High School began reporting explosions and gunfire. Recently, Cindy had been teaching nationally as an adjunct Instructor with APCO.

The team at PSTC and 911 CARES first met Cindy in training way before columbine high school and we have enjoyed and long and special relationship with Cindy.  We extend our condolences to the team at Jefferson County 9-1-1 and the APCO family.

The Cline family is planning a celebration of Cindy's life, July 20th which would have been Cindy's 55th birthday,  time and location to be determined. We'll post any updates as we get them.

As always, we encourage you to support both the agency and the family. Below are addresses to help you:

Golden, CO 80401

The Cline Family (Her Sister Kathy is a fellow dispatcher for the Golden Police. Her brother is Jon and daughter Missy)

Thanks - Kevin and the team at 911 CARES
