On this episode, Dave Schmidt is back and sits down with a Senior Officer from the Brunswick Police Department to talk about his career in public safety and the path that eventually led him to serving the Brunswick community.

His career actually began as an emergency dispatcher in Frederick County. At the time, there weren't any openings for police officers, but he knew law enforcement was where he wanted to be and saw dispatching as an opportunity to get his foot in the door and begin serving the community.

He talks with Dave about making the transition from dispatch to becoming a police officer, the experiences he's gained throughout his career, and what he's learned along the way.

Now with the Brunswick Police Department, he shares why he's happy to be part of a smaller, close-knit community and what he enjoys about helping keep Brunswick a safe place to live, work and raise a family.

It's a great conversation about getting started in public safety, building a career in law enforcement and finding the right community to serve.
