June 2020 Employee of the Month - Jenna Worthen

Police Department–Jenna Worthen

Jenna Worthen is Santaquin City’s June 2020 Employee of the Month. She is our Police Department’s Administrative Assistant. Jenna has been with the city for about six years. She started working with the city as a part-time recreation clerk but transferred to the police department after a short period of time and then was promoted into a full-time position. When asked, Jenna explains that she loves being in the police department because it feels like being with family. All the officers and staff in the department have each other’s backs and treat one another with respect. She also enjoys the daily challenge of the job.

Jenna’s position is centralized to the department and she is fantastic at keeping things organized and running smoothly. She acts as the liaison between the police department and the public, attorneys, state and federal agencies, and other city departments. Chief Hurst shares, “Jen is not a just a spoke in the wheel but the actual hub that keeps the wheel moving forward.  Her work ethic and skill set attract a lot of professional attention from other agencies and other city departments.  Despite more lucrative offers, Jen has chosen to remain loyal to the police department. On a personal level, she is the type of woman you hope your daughters grow up to be like and the kind of woman you hope your son would marry.”      

Jenna and her husband Carter have lived in Santaquin for the past four years. She grew up in Spokane, Washington, lived in Brazil for 18 months while serving a mission, then met and married her husband at BYU. They have one sweet little boy.

Thanks for being such a great employee for Santaquin City Jenna!
