Lynne Kadilis
911 Operations Center Employee of the Year for 2008

The 911 Operations Centers’ Employee of the Month / Employee of the Year program is designed to honor our employee’s achievements of character, performance and teamwork.  The program also recognizes those employees who have attained special personal or project goals, displayed heroism or in any other way provided outstanding service to the citizens of the City of Beaumont.  All employees are involved in the nomination process and the selection committee is comprised of two members voted on by all of the employees plus the prior six monthly winners.

911 Dispatcher Lynne Kadilis was selected as the Employee of the Month for October 2008.  Lynne has worked for the City of Beaumont for a total of 5 years.  She is a working mother of 3 children and a proud new grandmother.

During the month of October, Lynne did an excellent job on a call from a lady and her daughter who were being held against their will by the daughter’s father.  Lynne had to do some quick thinking to interpret the conversation because the man was listening and the lady could not speak plainly about what was going on.  When Police arrived and ascertained the details of the situation the suspect was arrested and transported to jail.  The mother and daughter were not harmed.

We would like to commend Lynne for her patience and quick thinking on the call which led to a successful outcome of a potentially dangerous situation.

Because of her actions, Lynne Kadilis is our 911 Operations Center Employee of the Year for 2008.
