Sue may have worked behind the scenes so to speak, while working in the communications section at the police department. But to those of us who were out on the street, relying on the information disseminated to us by our public safety dispatchers, we knew when she was there we would have the information needed for us to do our jobs and do them right. She was competent and proficient in doing her job. She had a great deal of respect from those of us on the street. Thanks Sue for taking care of us all those years.
