INDIANAPOLIS - Governor Eric J. Holcomb today announced Executive Director Kelly Dignin will retire in August from the Integrated Public Safety Commission (IPSC) after serving more than 28 years with the state.
"Kelly has been critical in improving the state's public safety communication efforts to serve Hoosiers effectively and efficiently when they need it most," Gov. Holcomb said. "She witnessed several evolutions of communicative technology and guided the state on how best integrate those technologies to support emergency responders in life-or-death scenarios."
Dignin was appointed executive director of the IPSC in 2019 following 10 years as the director of the data exchange network. She started her career 32 years ago in public safety as an EMT and began her service with the State of Indiana as a dispatcher and training officer at the Lafayette State Police Post.
During her time as the executive director of IPSC, Dignin accomplished the following:
"The implementation of new technology was so much fun," Dignin said. "It was rewarding to see the benefits of these applications. These technologies truly embody IPSC's motto of Saving Money and Saving Lives. I want to thank Gov. Holcomb because working for his administration has been the highlight of my career."
Dignin's last day is Aug. 16, 2024. A new leader for the agency will be determined soon.
