The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office announces transcriptionist Chrissy Stork as the employee of the first quarter. A supervisor of the records division nominated her for exemplary performance, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.

Stork has been with the sheriff’s office for almost seven years and currently is the only full-time transcriptionist, according to the release. Since joining the sheriff’s office, Stork has provided exemplary service to the office and the citizens of Kendall County, according to the release.

In recognizing her for the award, the sheriff’s office said Stork has demonstrated a commitment to excellence and a dedication to the citizens of Kendall County.

Stork started as a part-time transcriptionist and now is the only transcriptionist in the office and is responsible for transcribing and maintaining all of the reports for both the operations and corrections divisions, according to the release.

She has also taken on additional responsibilities such as reporting statistical data to the National Incident-Based Reporting System and ensuring appropriate information is sent to the Circuit Clerk’s Office when necessary, according to the release. “Her hard work and professionalism make her a great asset to the Sheriff’s Office and the citizens of Kendall County,” according to the release.
