 Pat Shumate: I am not exactly sure. I was going to school, selling shoes at JC Penney when my wife became pregnant with our first child. I needed a job, my previous experience had been military and public service, so the police work seemed a natural calling. Later, moving to communications and 9-1-1 was a natural progression.NENA: If you could convey one message to the public about 9-1-1 or being a 9-1-1 professional, what would it be? PS: You will not "get rich" working in 9-1-1. However, you will not find a more rewarding work, a more fulfilling roll in your community, or a more important accomplishment than in 9-1-1 and public safety. NENA: What do you like best about your job? PS: I like everything about my job. I like feeling like I have contributed to my community. I like working with the technology, meeting people around the state and country and exchanging ideas. Click here to continue reading Pat's profile...
