I about fell out of my chair when I read the new 911 Director’s resume;
The Metro Management Council has selected Scott McMahon to serve as the Director of Metro Communications Agency 9-1-1.
McMahon will be responsible for managing the operations of Metro Communications Agency 9-1-1, a consolidated public safety communications center responsible for the dispatch of all emergency services within the City of Sioux Falls and Minnehaha County.
A native of Big Stone City, SD, McMahon received a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Mount Marty College, a master’s degree in criminal justice from American Military University, and is a graduate of the FBI National Academy. For the past 25 years McMahon has served in various leadership roles within the Watertown, SD Police Department including Assistant Police Chief. Most recently, McMahon served as Captain of Support Services which included management of the department’s 911 communications center covering Watertown and a six-county area of northeast South Dakota.
“McMahon brings a wealth of knowledge, training, and experience to this position,†said Paul TenHaken, Mayor of Sioux Falls. “The Metro Management Council looks forward to working with Scott and his team in their vital role in our community.â€
Finally, someone working for the city and county that actually has experience and proper education, you might even say he is ‘overqualifed’. See how easy that was.
