Be The Difference, Be A Remedial Action Plan Coordinator - Employee Spotlight: Karen Barbee

This month’s employee spotlight is Karen Barbee, the City of Salisbury’s Remedial Action Plan Coordinator. She started her career with the Salisbury Police Department in 1980. She served in many roles including patrol officer, D. A. R. E. Officer and Community Service Officer, Police K-9 handler, and patrol sergeant. Karen was named NC Police Women’s Officer of the Year in 1989. She retired as a lieutenant and returned in July 2017 to work part-time on the Remedial Action Plan.

In her role, Karen collaborates with Code Enforcement and the Police Department to address disorderly activities within rental residential properties. She works with landlords and property managers dealing with criminal issues on their properties, while also ensuring the maintenance of an updated database.
