Scott has been involved in the emergency services field since
1989 where he entered into a career of law enforcement. While in
law enforcement, Scott actively participated in emergency
response programs with the community. Over the years, Scott has
completed over 1,000 hours of emergency management training
which is certified by/from POST, the State Fire Marshall, State
OES, FEMA, USAF, and other government agencies. Scott's
certifications include incident command, disaster command, full
emergency management course, CERT, ERT, Fire, disaster services,
emergency services, dispatching, first responder, weather
response, Hazmat, and many others. Scott has learned a great
deal through his training and has strategically kept himself in
positions that benefit from his very extensive training and
background. Scott has had a history of successfully developing
and molding government disaster and emergency programs into a
full fledge resourceful operation on a budget and boosting team
morale in turn increasing quality emergency responders. Scott's
training and experience further enables him to train responders
and further open capacities for which they can make a difference
in people's lives. For example, Scott developed a full emergency
response team for a city of 40,000 that consisted of volunteers,
policeman and firefighters and turned the operation into a
resourceful one that could help with a variety of situations,
thus further "protecting" the city from many perils
that may come. The city recognized this and began to fully
support the operation financially. Scott received accolades from
State OES and the emergency plan developed has been used a
model.
Scott also helped developed a Skywarn/Spotter program for a
National Weather Service office that turned into being one of
the top, if not the top, in the country. The plan for this
program was being requested from other NWS offices. Inter-agency
recognition gave way to providing mutual aid type support and
historically cut red tape, enabling a means for helping
government protect and save lives. Scott was nominated for a
NOAA award for his dedication to the program and received high
accolades from the staff and administrator of the program.
Scott has received many "invites" for various
government agencies to help develop their plans/teams, however
he currently loves and is with the US Air Force Auxiliary, Civil
Air Patrol where he is a Disaster Relief Officer and Emergency
Services Officer. He is looking forward to aggressively getting
into the Homeland Security.
