Public Sector Interview
Name: Stephen Brannon
Position: Supervisor
Organization: Michigan Department of Correction
Role: To supervise employees to ensure they are providing the public with safety. I selected Stephen Brannon to interview for my Public Sector assignment. Mr. Brannon is a supervisor at Michigan Department of Correction-Outer District. This government organization is responsible for providing public safety to the citizens by supervising convicted felons that have been placed on parole/probation for a set term. Mr. Brannon has been employed by Michigan Department of Correction for over 25 years. He has been a supervisor for the last 17 years. He currently supervises 14 employees. His primary responsibility is to correct and sign warrants that are prepared by the Parole/Probation Officers, make recommendations, deciding the consequences for felons that are not in compliance with their court ordered Parole/Probation terms. Additionally, Mr. Brannon is responsible for assisting in arrests and contacting other jurisdictions when applicable for felons that may have warrants in those jurisdictions. Mr. Brannon and I met for a face-to-face interview on September 7, 2010. The four topics that I selected to discuss with Mr. Brannon were taken from Chapters 6-9, as I found them to be applicable to Mr. Brannon’s organization and his role with his organization. I found the interview to be quite interesting and informing. It was amazing to learn that Mr. Brannon’s responses were similar to the course readings. It is my opinion that Mr. Brannon was very forthcoming in his answers and the overall interview was delightful. It was an experience that I am glad to have.
