Update on Jeri Sprague

Hello, I wanted to take a moment to update everyone and say thank you. Jeri is home now and doing great. She will be off work for the next several months, but she is on her way to a full recovery.

I want to thank all of the people, departments, dispatch centers, etc. that came to our rescue at our time of need. Several departments went above and beyond by assisting Jeri and her family in her time of need. Donations of gift cards, gift baskets, currency, reduced motel rates, cards, letters, food, etc. were so well received and helped her family a great deal at their time of need.

I was especially taken back by all of the calls from dispatchers who offered to come in and help cover our center while we were so short staffed. It has been a truly eye opening experience to see our Public Safety family come together to take care of our own.

I have to admit, that prior to this event, I lost sight of the amazing humanistic morality public safety personnel have for one another. At a time when our world seems so out of focus, the men and women in the public safety picked us up, dusted us off and assured us that everything is going to be alright.

To everyone who serves our citizens, works nights, weekends, holidays, etc. You are truly heroes in my book. Thank you and keep it up.
