Placerville, Calif, El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office, 3-19-21]<\/p>\n
The Sheriff\u2019s Office is honored to serve our neighbors and residents of El Dorado County. \u00a0And, we want you to know about all the different things we do here at EDSO!<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s employee in the \u201cHome, Work, Play\u201d series is Public Safety Dispatcher Mindy Whitney. \u00a0Mindy has served with EDSO for six years.<\/p>\n
Mindy grew up and lives in El Dorado County, but she also lived in Italy and in Idaho for a short time. \u00a0Mindy has many animals to include her horses Possum and Joey, her dogs Maggie, Ben, and Angus, her two cats Karen and Susan, and her two tortoises Jack and Gibson. \u00a0(WOW, lots of critters!)<\/p>\n
Mindy enjoys BBQing with friends and family and doing barrel racing competitions with her horses. \u00a0Mindy and her family also enjoy taking their dogs to the lake or river for short get-aways.<\/p>\n
Mindy is currently running a dorm room for her daughter\u2019s college experience due to COVID. \u00a0Mindy considers herself as rural, but only a Shingle Springs type of rural, not deep El Dorado County backcountry rural.<\/p>\n
As a Communication Training Officer at EDSO, Mindy enjoys teaching and helping new dispatchers, as well as helping her community and deputies. \u00a0Mindy\u2019s collateral assignments of Peer Support and Tactical Dispatcher bring her joy. \u00a0Mindy likes working in dispatch because everyday is different and you never know what the next phone call will bring.<\/p>\n
Mindy describes her fellow dispatchers as being amazing and dedicated. Mindy thinks the public would be surprised by the number of monitors and computer systems a dispatcher uses to do their job. \u00a0(9 huge monitors for each dispatcher)
\nGrowing up Mindy drove a 1987 Mazda RX7 and her favorite food is cereal, which she says is \u201cGreat for all meals\u201d. \u00a0 (We could probably all agree on that)<\/p>\n
Mindy loves to visit anywhere there is a beach or where there is arena sand for her to ride! \u00a0Mindy described herself as being a problem child growing up, but her brother was the angel of the family.<\/p>\n
Mindy enjoys camping, (she described it as Glamping), and she would love to go back to Italy someday.<\/p>\n
If you ever talk to Mindy at dispatch, let her know you heard her story!<\/p>\n
Thanks for sharing Mindy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
