Brad Hompe Knows What to Do in Corrections

These days, Brad Hompe can be found working with the Wisconsin Department of Corrections (WI-DOC), where he is a Corrections Complaint Examiner and Investigator. However, he has certainly garnered a lot of experience along the journey to that position. He has become very knowledgeable when it comes to virtually every aspect of jail and prison operations, primarily because he has provided a wide range of services in prisons and jails throughout Wisconsin and nationally at one time of another. He has worked at nearly every level of the corrections system on his way there, including time as warden eventually, although he worked his way up the chain, starting as a corrections officer, a sergeant, a lieutenant, a captain, a unit manager and a deputy warden all along the way.

In addition to extensive experience, Brad Hompe also has a significant education to draw upon. He earned a Bachelor's Degree in criminal justice and psychology from Winona State University and a Masters Degree in Public Administration (MPA) from the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh. Brad also has law enforcement certifications from schools in Minnesota and Wisconsin and a Firefighter I Certification, which he earned from Southwest Technical College in Fennimore, Wisconsin.

In short, Brad Hompe has a ton of experience in the realm of jail and prison operations. Besides having led the development and implementation of corrections programs, Brad is highly thought of as a top-notch expert on prison operations, primarily based on the knowledge he gained from his experience in all aspects of jail operations, from design and planning to policy development and implementation. He is extremely knowledgeable regarding use of force, the development and implementation of training and evaluation and incident management, but his expertise also includes such diverse elements of the correction system as food service, sanitation and maintenance, classification, supervision and even fire safety.
