Please join me in congratulating Trenton Casler for receiving Employee of the Quarter for the Communications Division. Outstanding job, Trenton!

Please join me in congratulating Communications Officer Trenton Casler on being named Employee of the Quarter for the first quarter of 2026.

Trenton is truly a jack of all trades on the dispatch floor. When things inevitably get busy or complicated, he is someone you can count on to step in, find solutions, and help steady the situation. Whether it involves CAD functions, radio operations, or troubleshooting issues as they arise, he consistently steps up without hesitation.

Much of what Trenton does happens behind the scenes, but it plays a critical role in keeping our communications center running efficiently and effectively.

Thank you, Trenton, for your dedication and for everything you do to support your team and this agency.
