I’m Richard Hough (pronounced Huff), a criminal justice consultant and trainer located in the Florida panhandle. Since beginning my career as a police officer at the age of 19, I have amassed over 25 years’ experience as a practitioner in a number of areas of law enforcement, corrections, and juvenile justice, in increasingly responsible positions. I also have 20 years’ experience teaching criminal justice and public administration courses in police academy, college, and university settings.
I have provided consultation and training on a wide variety of topics for both law enforcement and social service agencies. In addition, I have served as a subject matter expert and provided litigation support in use of force, corrections management, and police practices cases.
I take pride in being in the minority of career criminal justice professionals who not only have worked extensively in the field but who also have a strong educational background to augment their work experiences. If you are in need of the expertise of a criminal justice professional who has “been there, done that“ in a number of settings, please feel free to contact me to discuss your individual needs. I reside in Northwest Florida but am willing to travel for training and consulting engagements as needed.
