My name is Scott Packard and I am currently the Western Region Sales Associate for DSI/ITI. I help canvas all the states from Arizona to Montana and westward. I’ve been working this position for 15 months now. Like most of my comrades here at DSI, I grew up in central Pennsylvania rooting for Penn State football and learning that just because someone in Croatia has heard of it, the Horseshoe Curve isn’t necessarily “world famous”.To learn more about Scott Packard and his BLOG, click here.

Here at DSI, I am an Application Specialist. But in larger terms, I have been involved with corrections for over 9 years. I earned my degree in criminal justice and my knowledge about corrections comes from in-the-field exposure. So I can relate to all of your experiences! Previously, I worked as a Corrections Officer, Counselor and Work Release and Electronic Monitoring Coordinator before being employed at DSI. My knowledge of corrections is extensive - from the line officer’s point of view to upper management practices. To learn more about RJ Foor and his BLOG, click here.

Welcome to my first blog post for DSI/ITI!  If you are a DSI/ITI customer, there is a good chance we have crossed paths at some point in my tenure here.  Whether it was when I was a software engineer, or Team Lead or maybe while at my current position as Chief of Product Development.  For those non-customers out there (you know who you are), thank you for coming and I look forward to your comments!

One of the things that has always fascinated me in working with and within the criminal justice system is the fact that so many agencies, whether they be police, corrections, courts or others collect vast amounts of data but often do little or nothing with it. Throughout my career I have focused on this issue and have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work in practical law enforcement, academia and private industry. As such I have worn many “hats”, whether as a crime or intelligence analyst, as an adjunct professor or lecturer, a systems scientist, a developer, project manager or contractor.

Greeting and thanks for checking into this Angel Hernandez character.  Since you're looking, here's a little background. You supply the Musak. Aside for a few economic diversions (sold cars post 9/11), my career revolves around improving how people can do their work.  I spent a few years in the academic sector so my main "people" were instructors, academicians, and learners.  I got to do a decent balancing act of optimizing software and hardware to accomplish this.  While it starts to peg the geek-o-meter, it's very satisfying to see all sorts of work getting done more efficiently, and yes, more effectively.
