As some know Robbie Thompson wife of Paul Thompson has found out she has Breast Cancer. She will be having surgery very soon and to help them with some of the financial burden since Robbie will be out for a while recovering we have talked with Carter Luce who will be doing shirts for the cause. The order forms can either be printed out or filled out online and sent to her. She advised she would like the money by August the 25th. She has her ways of paying on the form. Pick up can be at Central or she will ship them to you. Please share this post so we can help Robbie out. Thank you!!!

We are so excited to recognize Korena Teal as a recipient of the Gold Line Support Sunshine Dispatcher National Recognition Award! 🖤💛🎧

Korena’s professionalism, dedication, and the positive impact she brings to emergency communications have officially been recognized on a national level — and we couldn’t be more proud to have her behind the headset at Knox County Central Dispatch 911.

The voices behind the calls don’t always get seen. The long shifts, difficult calls, calm voices, and dedication to the community often happen quietly behind closed doors.

Today, we’re making sure Korena is seen. ☀️

Congratulations, Korena! This recognition is so well deserved! 🏆🎧💛
