While Working at the Pima County Jail, I was assigned to Administrative Segregation where I specialized in housing high ranking gang members and staff assaulter's.

After that assignment I worked for the Security Services Unit where I specialized in gathering intelligence from known gangs members, identifying gang members and monitoring their correspondence and video visits.

I ended my career with Security Services and moved on to the mental health unit. I housed Suicide watches and helped restored them to competency to stand trial or become a functional member of society.
