He jumped into these roles at the same time the jobs were being developed. The maintenance technician is responsible for preventative maintenance and cleaning of field cabinets and cameras.

"Dwayne was instrumental in fine tuning the role and helped create the training manuals for all future people that follow him in these positions," explains KC Scout Manager Randy Johnson.
