Organizational Readiness

---

I create methodological, programming, and leadership training to deliver efficacy in workforce operationalization & cost engineering management. Integrating methods that procured knowledge and insights into the complex issues of carceral system operationalization to remove the opacity within the American criminal justice system from its current state of inept governance towards stewardship with efficacious standards to provide positive outcomes. Expert at rigorously developing methodologies within artificial intelligence & machine learning to evolve technologies to manage the requirements of correction organizations.

All methodologies efficaciously integrated data to optimize budgetary assumptions by absolute measure in the management and deployment of uniformed and civilian personnel to deliver necessary tasks and standards as codified by law with precision and purpose in budgetary preparedness, operationalization, and oversight in the management of contracted services and a civil service workforce. Methodologies by proper measure document operational requirements, shortfalls, surpluses, and anomalous workforce behavior in operationalization to provide due diligence in staffing formulation requirements to forecast budgetary outliers that may require legislative support to comply with oncoming fiscal requirements to maintain constitutional conditions in service of rehabilitation and detention. Standards are provided for the general welfare and rehabilitation of individuals detained within an institutional jail or prison setting and for the comportment of a well-constituted workforce.

As Warden, I was commissioned with much latitude to exercise independent judgment, actions, and decisions in the development of strategies in policies & procedures, training, uniform staffing ramp-ups, and the rapid deployment of workforce resources in the management of over 1,100 uniform officers and over 125 uniformed supervisory personnel of multiple ranks under my chain of command within multiple long-standing correctional institutions, as well as the establishment and operationalization of a workforce within new commands, such as the Central Intake and the development for the opening of the Bronx Hall of Justice as the Executive officer in my previous capacities. These undertakings included all logistical, staffing, operational, and security readiness requirements.

Additional executive-level specialized assignments;

As Commanding Officer of the Office of Administration, the Health Management Division, the Toxicology Unit, and the Overtime Tracking Unit, I reported directly to the Chief of Department and with much latitude, I exercised independent judgment, action, and decisions to provide oversight in the management of the department's entire uniform workforce, totaling over 8,321 uniformed personnel within all facilities and divisions, including ten Rikers Island jails, four borough jails, sixteen court detention facilities, and three hospital prison wards.
  

As the Commanding Officer of Facility Operations Administration & Programs, I reported directly to the Chief of Facility Operations, and with much latitude, I exercised independent judgment, action, and decisions as liaison for the New York Department of Correction with the State Commission of Correction and the Board of Corrections as cooperatives in governance in overseeing the operationalization, management, and compliance of a workforce in delivering essential program services and facility operations at Rikers Island and all borough facilities. I also coordinated the departments’ divisional maintenance task force to facilitate emergency repairs and improve program services to support operations. Additionally, I oversaw the administration and management of command disciplines, chronic sick designations, and their dispositions for the department's uniform workforce.

Accomplishments;

Creator of an Administrative Dashboard Database that integrated human resource management to provide efficacy within workforce operationalization. Methodologies include measuring workforce assumptions that combine machine learning, artificial intelligence, the backpropagation of algorithms, exploring data convergence points, and iteration step-by-step with rigor to evolve, educate, and deliver upgrades of legacy data management systems in creating intelligent technology practices. 

Creator of the first Administrative Operation Manual to service the New York City Department of Correction, incorporating discipline in practice and management of uniform personnel. Compressing Departmental practices, indexed within one document to improve organizational performance and effectiveness. The Manual also provided new procedures and methodologies in data system practices, removing gaps in policy that were not refined as balanced rules of operational engagement or comport to standards within contractual obligations. A document that serves as a benchmark for future leaders to recondition future administrative operations manuals within our ever-evolving government institutions.

Case study- Savings were achieved by implementing rigor within several inefficient policies. One revision example was providing standards to correct harmful algorithmic bias by correcting miscalculations applied by the previous administration's policies as implemented within the COBA collective bargaining agreements regarding vacation smoothing for the rank of a correction officer. The revision resulted in thousands of hours in savings in workforce hours being recovered monthly with policy reconditioning that eliminated the extreme collision of call-outs and staffing shortfalls during the summer months. Policy changes that maintained the precision of vacation call-outs according to the approved contractual agreement of uniformed personnel vacation call-outs with fiscal prudence and continuity in the governance in the operationalization of a public safety workforce to fulfill essential services constituted by law.

Case study- Savings were incurred by employing methodologies, resulting in record-breaking reductions totaling 135,852.50 hours of overtime from comparative temporal periods during my career within NYCDOC.
