Public Safety Efficacy & Collective Bargaining

An optimal criminal justice system requires establishing a calculus of measures in workforce orchestration and accountability that can be applied to every State that the United States Constitution binds within our nation. Throughout our country today, many government law enforcement entities and privately operated organizations are going through very challenging times in the management of jails and prisons within the criminal justice system. These systems are subject to federal constitutional laws and state statutory rules and codes specifying a standard of legal governance obligations within correctional institutions. The impact is significant for facilities with a history of non-compliance, where additional measures are often imposed as consent decrees or conservatorship within adverse judgments. While the physical facilities are subject to specific criteria, a significant cause of origin of correctional facility deficiencies can be attributed to inadequate workforce operationalization standards as systems are subject to neglect and corruption, resulting from conditions of staffing, budgetary, and leadership gross mismanagement. In addition, current standard operating procedures are not comprehensive enough to ensure compliance with jurisdictional guidelines governing the mandatory legal standards for the operation of correctional facilities to meet their constitutional duties and obligations. 

Furthermore, compliance with collective bargaining agreements and other contractual terms becomes constrained as they are latent, ambiguous, and absent extrinsic facts. When the quality and range of limits of staffing shortfalls are within an unregulated calculus, a workforce's operationalization standards, performance, and benefits will degrade. This leads to a clear written document that can be subject to willfully insidious interpretations and practices that can thumb the scale of justice down within cost and benefits over the quality of life for incarcerated persons and contracted members of service [ Salary & Pension, Service Obligations ], absent a nexus of information to provide safeguards to sustain an effective public safety workforce for the general welfare of society. It leads to adverse working conditions, workplace safety hazards, and the effects of a misaligned workforce environment when staff is excessively extended and deployed beyond their regular work hours. These are haphazard practices where a workforce is sustained excessively on extended shifts for years absent exceptional events that would have due cause to effectuate emergency staffing during a crisis.  Environments of neglect that subject institutionalized persons and employed personnel to suffer the physiological, psychological, and behavioral effects of stress due to the inability to codify workforce operationalization standards comprehensively.  Factors that propagate high-pressure situations within an inadequate system of governance. 

As a pluralistic nation, WE, THE PEOPLE, must persevere under trial. By establishing a calculus with rigor where procedure, governance, accountability, and oversight are sustained to redress noncompliance with efficacy and resilience in workforce orchestration standards and maintenance. For systems to become constitutionally purposed, mandatory operationalization conditions must be clarified and codified with a methodology that can remove ambiguities within the rule of law—principled in truth, with checks and balances, as the U.S. Constitution was designed.
