@davidscott
I secure healthcare environments and lead public safety operations across high-risk settings.
What I'm looking for
At Novant Health, I help protect patients, staff, and visitors through armed patrols, emergency response, access control, and investigations. As the most senior officer, I lead team operations when a Sergeant is absent.
I've also supervised correctional operations and large-scale food production for NCDPS, and led retail teams across operations, safety, inventory, and customer service. I bring healthcare security certifications, criminal justice education, and a commitment to safer patient-centered environments.
