Virginia Norris of Powell has joined the Powell Police Department as a part-time dispatcher.Norris, 34, is originally from Billings. She lived in Washington for a spell before moving to Powell about 3 years ago, looking to be closer to her family.
She kinda found the job by chance.
"I saw an ad in the paper," she said. "I thought, 'That sounds really cool.'"
Norris has worked in child care and at Taco John's.
I suggested that perhaps her experience taking orders from desperately hungry folks would transfer to handling emergency calls. That was probably a bit of a stretch - Norris said she hadn't thought of that connection - but she humored me anyway.
"I have experience and I didn't even know it," she joked.
Norris started training Thursday.
Thats my wife! Isn't she cute!
