The long-time PIO discusses his 33-year career spanning dispatch to public and media outreach with Karen Bune for Public Safety Communications.

Throughout his 33 years with his agency, Mark Brady, public relations manager and public information officer for the Prince George’s County (Md.) Fire/EMS, has served his community well — as fire dispatcher for 17 years and now as the liaison between the department and the public. “It’s not a 9–5 job. It’s 24/7,” he says. “Even on days off, you’re still carrying the office around on your hip. The chief knows I’m doing my job.”
