Chris White shows good qualities of a dispatcher, he pays attention to detail and strives to do his best. Chris was recognized for a call involving a suspicious vehicle with the door hanging open.

From the owner's address on his concealed weapons permit, which didn't match the vehicle registration or the driver's license, Chris was able to contact another jurisdiction and track down a valid phone number for the individual.
