A former Coffeyville Police Department employee passes away.

Sherry McGinnis served as a dispatcher from 1985 to 2002. She served the citizens of Coffeyville for 17 years, spending most of her career on the evening shift. Chief Kwin Bromley says he is truly saddened by McGinnis's passing. She was a fantastic dispatcher and a wonderful human being. He says she watched over all of us as if we were her children. CPD's flag has been lowered to half-staff in honor of her devoted service to the community.
