Our heartfelt condolences to Toby's family, friends and the Johnson County Sheriff's Dept.

Dispatcher Toby Dalton passed early this morning after a courageous battle with cancer. Toby touched countless lives—often as the calm, steady voice on the other end of the phone or radio while someone else’s world was falling apart over her career of 22 years. Her strength, compassion, and unwavering dedication made her a lifeline for so many.

Please remember Toby’s family, both by blood and by service, as they navigate this difficult time.

44‑31, rest easy. We have the watch
