Public Sector Interview

Name: Stephen Brannon
Position: Supervisor
Organization: Michigan Department of Correction
Role: To supervise employees to ensure they are providing the public with safety. I selected Stephen Brannon to interview for my Public Sector assignment. Mr. Brannon is a supervisor at Michigan Department of Correction-Outer District. This government organization is responsible for providing public safety to the citizens by supervising convicted felons that have been placed on parole/probation for a set term. Mr. Brannon has been employed by Michigan Department of Correction for over 25 years. He has been a supervisor for the last 17 years. He currently supervises 14 employees. His primary responsibility is to correct and sign warrants that are prepared by the Parole/Probation Officers, make recommendations, deciding the consequences for felons that are not in compliance with their court ordered Parole/Probation terms. Additionally, Mr. Brannon is responsible for assisting in arrests and contacting other jurisdictions when applicable for felons that may have warrants in those jurisdictions. Mr. Brannon and I met for a face-to-face interview on September 7, 2010. The four topics that I selected to discuss with Mr. Brannon were taken from Chapters 6-9, as I found them to be applicable to Mr. Brannon’s organization and his role with his organization. I found the interview to be quite interesting and informing. It was amazing to learn that Mr. Brannon’s responses were similar to the course readings. It is my opinion that Mr. Brannon was very forthcoming in his answers and the overall interview was delightful. It was an experience that I am glad to have.

    Law and order are two words that keep our society from collapsing on its self. We the American people have our freedom to do what ever we want; we can purse any career, go down to your favorite restaurant and order whatever you want. We have these freedoms because people fought for them many years ago, so that we wouldn’t be under rule or dictatorship. Many people take our freedom for granted and end up on probation, in jail, or prison. In this paper I will be outlining the case of Kris, and his probation officer’s view. I will also develop a profile for a perfect candidate to participate in an intensive supervised probation program. I will defend the strategy of matching inmates to a correctional facility and critique whether the programs and amenities geared toward the prisoners are effective.…

    The most common form of criminal sentencing in the United States these days is probation. Conditions of probation and parole are primary factors that have an effect on a probationers post lock-up life. When determining conditions of probation and parole, the offender’s background plays a very vital role in the determination. A probation or parole officer has four functions that helps them figure out if probation and/or parole will be effective for each offender. “Supervision of sentenced probationers or released parolees is the most active stage of the probation/parole process” (Schmalleger, 2014). Applying these four functions to the situation of the Coatesville Fire Department in Coatesville, PA is no different.…

    On November 18, 2012 at 1:00pm I interviewed Stephan Baldwin, a substance abuse counselor at Stephens Medical Hospital in Edmonds. The reason for this interview was for me to gather as much information in the substance abuse field as possible and the requirements needed for this type of position, and to expand my professional network. For a long time I have debated a career in business or psychology. If I chose psychology I would want to do something related to counseling, or even possibly be a psychiatrist. So I thought that interviewing someone in this position would help me understand if this was the kind of career I would be interested in.…

    This has to be one of my favorite assignments since becoming a student at Kaplan. I have been interested in the Criminal Justice since I was a small child. I come from a long line of military, however, my passion has always been Criminal Law. I remember even as a young girl in the 2nd grand, I had dreams and aspirations of becoming a lawyer. Now that I have an ex husband, and two children of my own and find the justice system a little “Leewayish” (if that’s even a word) on dead beat fathers, my dream has now become to be a “Ball busting District Attorney for deadbeat moms and dads. I am sick and tired of seeing the same faces in court every other month with the same stories that they cant find work, or they cant see their kids, or they were helping with the flood cleanup. I am sure you can feel my frustration! Other avenues of the law that I have a particular interest in is detective work, private investigation and cold case files. I am also an avid photographer so I would love to take that passion and put into crime scenes, while I pursue a law degree. My best friend Shonda, who I have interviewed for this assignment, is now a detective. She absolutely loves her job, but is currently back into school to further herself into a law degree. I love the cold cases being solved after all hope is lost, on television I know, but still yet. The Jaycee Duggard story gave me a new passion for cold case, when she was found years later. After her kidnapper left her emotionally scarred, she was still able to return to parents who never gave up hope. For my interviews I picked a street cop turned detective to see where her thought process was ethically on the questions at hand. For my second interviewee, I picked a K9 officer who was on the meth task force, but due to meth running a rampant race with the unemployment level sky high, I had…
