KRISTI STAMNES DEPARTING FROM WASHINGTON CO. E-911

  

The head of Washington County’s emergency dispatch department is leaving for another state.

Tomorrow (Friday) is E-911 Director Kristi Stamnes’ last day with the county, after being in the position since January 1, 2017.  She has accepted a 911 position in Alabama.

When asked the reason for the decision, Stamnes told KWHI, “I have had a great opportunity for me and my family back home, one that I could not pass up.”

Stamnes said she has greatly enjoyed her time in Washington County and thanks the community for its support of her department.  She also thanks the officials from the city and the county who have helped her expand the department and make it what it is today.

A hiring committee has been created to search for a new director.  Washington County Commissioners will look to potentially update the position’s job description at their meeting Tuesday.
