From fall of 1973 to the end of December 1988 I was a Summit County, Ohio Deputy. During that time I worked virtually every type of job, except civil. (I hope I am at lest civl!) In 1982 I became the Jail Statistician. By duties included a monthly complication of inmate statistics and other management information as needed and created and Supervised the civilian employees in booking area on a 24 hour basis.



This a picture of the my computer and office. This was the fist micro-computer in the sheriff's  office and maybe in the county. This was a Zenith 8088 with .320 meg of memory. a 10 meg, full size. It was about $4,500. There was a Daisy wheel and matrix printers. It was part drunk tank!

In the fall of  1983 I went to  University  of Pittsburgh, at the Public and International Affairs; Public Policy and Research Analysis program to get a Ph.D. But, I kept my job, part-time, except I did not supervise the the employees.

Because I got my job in the Summit County jail was because a federal consent order. It was obvious that the county was going to have to build a new jail. The sheriff decided to build a Information computer system.  Basically I signed and build of computer system that this is still in use today including the prosecutor and the courts now.

In December 1988 I took my ball and left!

I had a consulting business since 1983. In 1987 a became a Professor!  I taught in Niagara University, at Kent State University, OH in the Department of Criminal Justice Studies.

At about 10:10 PM Thursday May 4, 1995 I had a severe stroke. Because of the strokeand the resulting aphasia I have trouble reading and WRITING.

Here some of the Criminal Justice papers I wrote:

• Police Officer Stress & Agency Organizational Structure. - Although, law enforcement officers deal with stressful situations in the normal course of their duties excessive stress on individual officers may impair their ability to carry out their responsibilities. In addition to the impact on individuals, excessive stress on officers means that the law enforcement organization they serve suffers a diminished capacity to serve the public. Therefore, in order to keep law enforcement organizations operating at optimal levels, administrators must be able to identify the causes of dysfunctional stress on individual officers and take effective action to ameliorate its effects.

 
• A Report on Intra-Organizational Communications - The Mission Statement for the project is: It is the mission of this study to provide information that can lead to beneficial improvement of intra-organizational communications and information flow, a reduction of individual stressors and an examination of the general organizational structure. The Probation Office recognizes the need to provide the individual Probation   Officers with as professional and transparent an organization as possible.

 
• Public Safety Justice Facilities Study for The City of Barberton, Ohio - One of the functions of government is to provide services that are not normally provided by other entities. Among these services is the criminal justice system, which has three main components: 1) Police 2) Courts and 3) Corrections. This report deals with the future facility needs of two of these components: Police; and Corrections.

 
• Non-traditional Hiring of Police Officers in a Small Department -  Hiring Police Officers has always been a problematic issue. This is compounded in small departments looking for part-time officers. The Copley, Ohio, Police Department wanted to hire three to five part-time officers. Copley Township, consists of 11,000 residents in 19.6 square miles, just west of the City of Akron, and is part of a fast growing commercial area. The department had recently under gone a great deal of internal stress that resulted in the Chief being fired. After a long search process, outside the department, a new Chief was hired.
