Tracy Ertl Author and Publisher
Wisconsin: Tracy C. Ertl is a former Green Bay Press-Gazette police reporter and currently dispatches police officers and firefighters throughout Title town. Ertl was named 2004 Brown County Telecommunicator of the Year, another high point in her career that started 16 years ago with the Green Bay Police Department. Brown County Public Safety Communications is her employer since Green Bay merged into a joint operation.
As a life-long crime chaser, Ertl began her writing career as a crime reporter and was managing editor of "Lifestyle" magazine in the Fox Valley. She is an award-winning author, most recently taking third place nationwide in the 2005 National Shooting Sports Foundation's writing contest.
Tracy Ertl was a journalist for many years before she became a 911 dispatcher. Title Town Publishing is the merging of both passions!
Tracy loves being a publisher. A book has the ability to penetrate both the heart and the mind simultaneously and she considers it an honor and a responsibility to be able to impact people so deeply.
Tracy has a blog with Psychology Today called "Riding the Alligator - Dispatches from the Front Lines of Law and Life.” She will be submitting another one shortly on the psychology of skydiving and how such an activity can sometimes contribute to the healing of a crime survivor. Tracy has a son in the U.S. Marines and he recently returned stateside after his tour in Afghanistan.
Tracy is also a national law and fire instructor with APCO International, the largest public safety education provider in the world. She is an expert on active shooter incidents such as Columbine and Virginia Tech. When she instructs for APCO she goes into police agencies and works with their communications professionals to help ensure everyone comes out with the most people alive. On occasion, she has officers in her classes as well as dispatchers and police administrators.
She maintains full-time status as a 911 dispatcher with Brown County Public Safety Communications in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
