Kristi's work culminated, in 2013, with the receipt of a Bronze Wreath of Merit from the Wichita Police Department and, in 2015, with the receipt of a Bronze Medal of Outstanding Service from the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office.

Since 2006, Kristi has continuously provided legal training for law enforcement officers with the Wichita Police Department and Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office. Specifically, in February 2020, she provided legal training at the Sedgwick County Law Enforcement Training Center.
