GEORGETOWN, Del. – Sussex County officials have announced that Kelli Peterson of Laurel has been selected as the county’s 2025 employee of the year, according to information published on SussexCountyDE.gov. The recognition was shared following the annual Mildred King Luncheon held Dec. 5, an event that highlights the work of the county’s roughly 550 employees.
Peterson works in the Department of Public Safety as an Emergency Communications Specialist II and Training Assistant. Her role includes handling emergency calls, supporting training efforts, and helping guide newer staff through day-to-day operations. County records show she joined the department in June 2019. The county considered 13 candidates for this year’s recognition, choosing from individuals who had been named quarterly winners or honorable mentions. Peterson had previously earned an honorable mention in the third quarter of 2025.
Officials credited her steady performance during high stress calls, consistent attention to detail, and her support of colleagues in training settings. The county highlighted those qualities as reasons she stood out among this year’s nominees. County Administrator Todd F. Lawson noted her willingness to take on additional duties and maintain a professional approach in a job that routinely demands focus and composure. The employee of the year program is intended to recognize staff who demonstrate strong service across county departments.
