Objective
To obtain a position with a reputable company or law enforcement agency, where I
may effectively utilize my 25 years of security experience and extensive management
experience to improve the overall operation of that agency.
Qualifications
I am an excellent candidate for the aforementioned positions based on 25 years of
experience and extensive training with the Illinois Department of Corrections. I
joined the Department on 05-30-1989 and was promoted to Correctional Lieutenant
on 04-01-1991, just 22 months later. Due to my professional attitude and my
commitment to leadership, I was appointed Chief Investigator of Internal Affairs at
Illinois River Correctional Center on February 1, 2000. I held that title until
mid-year 2010. During that time, I conducted thousands of interviews associated
with hundreds of investigations in an effort to seek out the truths in an ethical and
professional manner. I was appointed by the Chief of Investigations & Intelligence
in 2001 to assemble a team and review investigative policy statewide. This lengthy
task resulted in the re-writing of more than a dozen Administrative Directives that
standardized policies, procedures, and forms that are currently being used. In
July of 2002, I researched and discovered an innovative investigative tool for the
detection of deception that touted more accurate results than the older polygraph
method. This instrument has become widely known and is replacing the use of the
Polygraph. My intention was to introduce this new tool to IDOC and to become the
Departments Certified Examiner. In 2004 & 2005, I organized meetings between
numerous Administrators for the Illinois Department of Corrections and the
instruments creator, National Institute of Truth Verification. In 2005, the IDOC
purchased their first Computer Voice Stress Analyzer. I was appointed as the sole
Certified Examiner in the use of the CVSA for all of IDOC and maintained that
position until March of 2013 after being promoted to Assistant Warden of
Operations for Hill Correctional Center. I traveled statewide to assist numerous
facility investigators and the Springfield unit investigators to seek out the truth and
resolve issues. I have conducted nearly 250 exams and have helped solve
countless investigations, several ending in a confession. I received the 2007
Facility Investigator of the Year Award chosen by the late Joseph P. Burke, Chief of
Investigations & Intelligence. The award was presented by past IDOC Director Roger

2. Walker for continual performance above and beyond the call of duty. I have been
involved in a multitude of statewide operations that included the Tactical Team,
Intel, Parole, SORT, and Investigations. I was appointed as a statewide instructor,
teaching approximately 300 investigators the fundamentals of investigations related
to 13 specific Administrative Directives. As an Assistant Warden of Operations I
was responsible for many departments within that facility. A security staff force of
nearly 250 was a challenge as most were also members of a Union. I was also
responsible for many departments including the Maintenance, Dietary, Grounds &
Landscaping, Meat Packing & Milk Packaging Plant, Laundry, Commissary, Staff
Training, Tactical, Internal Affairs, Intelligence, Armory, and many facets of security
practices associated with Operations of a 2060 adult male correctional facility. It is
now my intention to take another step forward to assist your agency by utilizing my
experiences and knowledge as resources to serve your agency.
