Directs corrective action when deficiencies, vulnerabilities, or adverse trends are identified.

Provides executive direction and oversight during critical incidents, including serious staff or youth assaults, disturbances, escapes or attempted escapes, major security breaches, significant contraband events, facility emergencies, and other events affecting institutional safety or continuity of operations.

Ensures secure facilities maintain effective systems for shift briefings and handoffs, post coverage, supervisory rounds, security inspections, searches, contraband interdiction, key and tool control, youth accountability, emergency preparedness, and other fundamental correctional practices.

Ensures the safe and effective integration of correctional operations with education, treatment, behavioral health, case management, recreation, rehabilitative programming, and other services necessary to support positive youth outcomes and reduce recidivism.

Works with executive staff and researchers to identify the risks and needs of the youth population and determine appropriate placements, staffing approaches, security strategies, treatment interventions, and services.

Develops, implements, monitors, enforces, and evaluates rules, policies, procedures, standards, and guidelines governing secure facility operations and ensures compliance with applicable federal and state requirements.
