Director of Communications
Warren County
Pleasant Hill, Iowa
My name is Travis Solem, and I am the Director of Communications for the Warren County Communications Center in Iowa. I have 20 years in public service and started my career in a small PSAP as a Dispatcher/Jailer. I went on to be the Jail Administrator and then later the Communications Supervisor.
I have been in the role of Director for 3 different PSAPS in Iowa for 14 years. I take enormous pride in being an active leader and empowering my staff and making them feel heard, seen and putting them in a place where they can grow. I value the diversity that staff can bring to all aspects of my job and often ask them for their input. I have been bringing a dog with me to work since he was a puppy and his name is “Obi.” He is an Irish Doodle, and he loves coming to work with me!
I am married to an amazing woman, and we have 5 kids and 6 grandkids that we love to spoil and send back home to mom and dad. Our spare time is spent going to grandkids events, working outside, fishing, swimming, and just being with family.
