Our guest, Jennifer, shares her inspiring journey and experiences. You won't believe that when she began her career, her agency didn't even have a CAD (Computer-Aided Dispatch) system, and during thunderstorms, they had to use pencils to switch between systems to avoid electrical shocks.

Join us as we dive deep into Jennifer's incredible journey, learn about the fascinating world of public safety dispatch, and explore how innovation has transformed the field.
