Today, the Blackwell Police Department joins our community in mourning the loss of Tammy Lynn Mayden.

Tammy dedicated her life to serving others. Whether as a teacher, counselor, advocate, or community leader, she had a remarkable ability to help people find hope, understanding, and a path forward. Through her work with the Oklahoma Department of Human Services, the Blackwell Youth Center, and countless community programs, she made a lasting difference in the lives of children, families, and those facing difficult circumstances.

For nearly two decades, Tammy worked alongside the Blackwell Police Department in many different capacities. Her commitment to our youth and our community was evident in everything she did. She was instrumental in establishing Blackwell's first Father-Daughter Dance, bringing the Blackwell Fraternal Order of Police into the event—a tradition the FOP proudly continues to host each year. She also played a vital role in programs that provided mentorship, education, safety awareness, and support to countless young people and families throughout our community.

Tammy's compassion, generosity, and unwavering dedication made her a true pillar of Blackwell. The impact she had on our community cannot be measured, and her legacy will live on through the many lives she touched.

On behalf of the Blackwell Police Department, we extend our deepest condolences to Tammy's family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

Thank you, Tammy, for your years of service, your kindness, and your heart for this community. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

Please keep Tammy's loved ones in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Congratulations to one of our own 911 Dispatcher Dailyn Emery!

🌟 Employee Spotlight: Dailyn Emery 🌟

This week, we're proud to recognize Dailyn Emery, one of the friendly and dependable voices behind the City of Blackwell's 911 Dispatch Center.

Dailyn recently celebrated her one-year anniversary with the City on June 16, and in that short time she has become an important part of the team that helps keep our community safe.

As a 911 Dispatcher, Dailyn is often the first person someone speaks to during an emergency. Whether it's answering a call for help or making sure first responders have the information they need, she approaches every shift with professionalism, compassion, and a calm presence.

When asked what she enjoys most about her job, Dailyn didn't hesitate.

"Being able to help people in the community with my incredible group of coworkers."

A Blackwell native, Dailyn was born and raised here, making her role even more meaningful as she serves the community she's always called home.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her family, curling up on the couch with her pup, and getting lost in a good book.

If she could share a meal with anyone, Dailyn says it would be her grandmother.

"She died when I was pretty young, but she was one of the funniest people I have ever met. I'd love to catch her up on all the crazy things that have happened since she's been gone."

Thank you, Dailyn, for your dedication, your compassion, and for being there when our community needs you most. The work of a dispatcher often happens behind the scenes, but its impact is felt every day.

Congratulations on your first year with the City of Blackwell! We're grateful to have you on our team and look forward to many more years of service.
