From Sgt. Brandi Roof

I would like to report Sgt. Amanda Propst for being accountable and responsible for her actions. Today she reviewed booking paperwork and released a Gladstone Inmate that posted bond. She sent the bond paperwork to the Gladstone court clerk and was immediately notified that the court date given was incorrect. Sgt. Propst then attempted to contact the inmate via the cell phone number she gave during her booking, the battery was dead on the cell phone and the voicemail box was full. Sgt. Propst called the inmate's emergency contact (which was the inmate's husband who was out of town) she explained the situation to him. He said he would contact his wife and have her call the jail. Sgt. Propst called the bonding company to report the error and the correct court date. She then discovered that the inmate had a court appearance in Clay County today, so she reported the information to the court personnel. With all of that said I feel that Sgt. Amanda Propst went above and beyond to correct an over sight that she had when reviewing paperwork. These efforts were a tremendous help to me. She resolved the error in a very timely and professional manner and I appreciate that.
