Marcus B. Slaughter – Debris Removal Workshop in Minnesota

KC Scout Incident Management Coordinator Marcus Slaughter and Traffic Incident Manager Owen Hasson recently attended the Debris Removal Workshop through the Federal Highway Administration in Minnesota. This workshop was very highly attended by many states around the country, but Slaughter and Hasson were specifically asked to attend the workshop due to Slaughter’s leadership in the creation of Julie’s Automated Waste Removal system (JAWS). JAWS, mounted on a truck, is a device that features an automated drop-down skid-plate that clears the debris out of the roadway and relocating it onto the shoulder. This system has shed light on the importance of safety while removing debris from the roads, as well as sparked the creation of other automated debris removal systems. “Since we developed JAWS, in late 2016, there have been others who have seen the importance of such a device and its ability to save lives,” Slaughter said. This is a huge honor for Slaughter and a very well-deserved recognition.
