Thanks to Tori Hymons, Jordan Christensen, Michael Sweeney, all of the 32nd BDA students and staff working on Oct. 9 for their willingness to be featured on the WRIC-TV ABC8 News feature about the Basic Dispatch Academy. Positive news reports such as this help to maintain the public's positive perception of DEC and help to recruit job candidates. Good work, everyone!
For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Deborah Jackson, DEC's payroll specialist and breast cancer survivor, shared life-saving information and pink ribbons with each of the platoons at morning roll call and with other staff as well. Thanks, Deborah!
