Since retiring from the New York City Department of Corrections (NYCDOC) with Peace officer status in 2011, I've continued working in the field of security, while maintaining correction relevance. I bring a rare and specialized perspective to litigation support involving Adult Corrections and Negligent Security. As a retired NYCDOC officer, I have transitioned into a career as an Expert Witness–an uncommon path in this field. "One of the few and perhaps the sole, former Rikers Island officers offering Litigation Support in the United States." I am dual Board-Certified as a Certified Protection Professional (CPP®) and Physical Security Professional (PSP®) through the American Society for Industrial Security (ASIS International). Globally recognized as the standard of excellence for security management professionals, the CPP demonstrates one's knowledge and competency in seven (7) key domains of security. The (PSP) credential provides demonstrable proof of knowledge and experience in Threat Assessments and Risk Analysis. The Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPD) certification suggests that I am familiar with (CPTED) principles. The American Correctional Association (CCE) certification signifies I can develop and implement policies and procedures for Adult Corrections on the Federal, State and Local levels.
