Emily graduated from the Indiana University Police Academy in 2023 and is excited to be using what she has learned to serve the community in which she lives. In her free time, Emily enjoys golfing and riding the motorcycle with her husband and hanging out with their big dogs Ischka, Michter, and Maduro.
We also welcome the newest member of our team, our Administrative Assistant Shelby Duncan! Shelby (left) is also from Morgan County and is currently studying social work. She will graduate from Indiana Wesleyan University with her Master’s in Social Work in the spring of 2025.

Our team works hard every day to help our citizens prepare for and cope with any type of emergency. Our mission is to:
– reduce loss of life and property
– protect our county’s critical infrastructure from all types of hazards through a comprehensive, risk-based, emergency management program of MITIGATION, PREPAREDNESS, RESPONSE, AND RECOVERY.
It is our honor to serve Morgan County!
