Hunter began her career in 1985, when the police station was still housed in the historic Carnegie Library building on Broadway. At the time, the department’s communication system was rudimentary compared to today’s standards, relying on a push-button 911 phone connected to a cassette recorder and just four radio channels. Dispatchers operated with minimal computerization, relying on handwritten logs and time clocks to track calls and officer movements.
