Dispatcher Cassandra Gomez, a Colorado native, moved to Rangely in December of 2021. Shortly after, she joined the ranks of the Rangely Police Department as a 911 Dispatcher. Gomez started her first responder career at the age of 18, graduating from Northeastern Junior College in 2019 as an Emergency Medical Technician, two weeks before graduating high school. Soon after, she received her National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians certification, recognizing her as an Emergency Medical Technician in all 50 states. She then got her Colorado state licensure allowing her to practice medicine in the state of Colorado.

Cassandra went into the work force working for the Washington County Ambulance Service. The county is the 11th largest in the state covering approx. 2,557 square miles and has a population of nearly 5,000. In 2020, Gomez completed an Intravenous Therapy course certifying her as an EMT-IV. She continues to take courses to further her skills and abilities in the field and is currently an EMT-IV with an emphasis in Prehospital Trauma Life Support. Gomez worked closely alongside fire, police, and medevac, responding to 911 calls, and transferring patients to higher ranked hospitals by ambulance, helicopter, and fixed-wing aircraft.

Gomez has trained fellow first responders by creating multi-agency incident mock calls, hosting training events, and assisting in teaching an Emergency Medical Responder course for fire departments.

During her time in high school, Cassandra was recognized as Artist of the Year for her creative abilities with a paint brush, woodwork, and graphic design. Gomez was also known for her time doing stand-up comedy during school events as well as spending her time as a peer counselor assisting troubled youth. In her free time, Gomez enjoys doing art, exploring the outdoors, and spending time with family and friends.

In her time with the Rangely Police Department Gomez has become a state-certified Emergency Medical Dispatcher. She plans on continuing her education in emergency medical services as an EMT-IV and a 911 dispatcher to provide positive care and impact to those who cross her path.

In the future, Cassandra hopes to become an Emergency Medical Dispatch instructor to continue training fellow first responders as well as get back in the ambulance and continue providing medical care to those in need.
