Gladstone, Missouri – July 26, 2022 – It is with great enthusiasm that Dean Scott, former military policeman in the US Army and current official with the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), announces he is the subject of a new, in-depth interview. The interview, which was conducted by freelance journalist Stefan Junge on behalf of an online periodical aimed at business people and entrepreneurs, was published on July 7, 2022.
Early in the piece, Dean addresses a question about what inspired him to pursue a government career in traffic safety. “Having a military police background made it easy because we work with law enforcement in advancing our program objectives in NHTSA,” he begins, elaborating, “It was an easy transition because cops talk to cops. With my history of being a cop, the agency felt like I could be a great asset to them, so they actively sought me out. I was flattered by it, but I was really motivated by the opportunity to save lives. Ultimately, on the road, even as a police officer, our number one duty is to save lives. I think that being with NHTSA right now, we’re really saving lives each and every day, especially by working with our partners in law enforcement.”
Further along in the interview, Dean Scott is asked to cite one strategy or skill that he feels is responsible for fostering success in his career, replying, “Learning to become a great public speaker. Sometimes a person who is a great public speaker can overcome a lack of knowledge in a given area, because a great speaker will typically gain that knowledge as they go along. Being a great speaker requires you to take speech classes and stand in front of an audience and take criticism. Make your speaking and presentation skills a priority in life and it will help you immensely in many different ways.”
