October 2023 Employee of the Month - McKinzie Bradshaw

Our October 2023 Employee of the Month is McKinzie Bradshaw. McKinzie was hired as a records clerk for the Santaquin Police Department almost two years ago. Because her father was a police officer, McKinzie has always had an interest in police work. She started her career with Utah Valley Dispatch (now Central Utah 911) as a police and fire dispatcher, working there for five years. When asked what she enjoys about her work with the Santaquin Police Department, she said that compared to the dispatch center, there is much less stress and she really appreciates that aspect. She also stated, “I haven't been in Santaquin very long but have loved living and working in Santaquin and being able to serve the community. Police work has always been an integral part of my life, and I find joy in being part of such an essential service and being able to work with amazing and selfless people.” McKinzie grew up in Sanpete County, graduated from North Sanpete High School and received her associate degree from Snow College.

When asked why McKinzie should be recognized, Jenna Worthen, Administrative Assistant in the department stated, “In McKinzie’s final interview, she boldly stated, ‘If you hire me, you will not regret it.’ Little did we know how accurate that statement would prove to be. McKinzie has shown absolute dedication and responsibility for her work. She is always seeking opportunities to improve and excel. McKinzie’s dispatching skills have proven to be a major asset to our department. She is extremely calm and patient under stressful situations and always treats others with respect and kindness. She is extremely reliable and uses her time very wisely. She takes on every task with optimism and goes above and beyond to get things done and done well. We are very fortunate to have McKinzie be a part of our team.”

Thank you, McKinzie, for your dedicated and invaluable service to Santaquin City and the Santaquin Police Department.
