Katye Vogt has been appointed as the new E-911 director for Fayette County.

Vogt, who has served as interim director since November, has been with the county in several capacities since 1992. She was chosen by unanimous consensus from among six applicants by an interview panel consisting of County Administrator Steve Rapson, Human Resources Director Lewis Patterson and four local law enforcement leaders.

Vogt replaces former director Bernard “Buster” Brown, who resigned last October following employee complaints about his management style and policy decisions. Rapson said Vogt “has exactly the type of operational and technical experience needed for our emergency operations.”
