Karen's Story
Workplace
After 18 years in law enforcement as a 9-1-1 dispatcher, and after helping my husband finish school and start his new career as a School Psychologist, I was able to leave my dispatching job for something less stressful and with fewer hours. I quit my job with Riverside Police in November 2001 and was able to enjoy the holidays without working for the first time in a long time. I worked part time as an Executive Secretary for private industry for a couple of years.

It was a great job, loved the work, but in 2006 an opportunity for promotion came up and was one that I WANTED - the Sr. Admin Asst to the Fire Chief for the Riverside Fire Department! I was selected and have now come full circle, having initially started my dispatching career as a Fire Dispatcher, then, moving on to dispaching for both police and fire, and now, back at the place I love to work - the RFD! It's been a long road, but I'm back with old friends and it's truly the best job I've ever had and I enjoy going to work every day.
