About Timothy Smith

The majority of my 30 year career has been spent in the SERVICE of public safety and correctional practitioners. I have what I consider to be a UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE of the industry. I say that because I\'ve spent time on both sides of the fence as an INTEGRATOR and a DESIGNER. After many years of study and practice I have achieved the level of SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT in Security and Telecommunications systems. I am grateful to be able to offer the knowledge and experience I\'ve gained to serve those who serve THE GREATER GOOD. The Architects Engineers and Designers of HOK\'s Justice Group seek first to be our client\'s TRUSTED ADVISORS. Understanding what keeps our clients up at night helps us to recommend strategies and solutions bound by a LARGER CONTEXT than space needs or the built environment.Why? Because our passion for what we do is rooted in the desire to STAND with those who\'s responsibility it is to maintain the RULE OF LAW, to put themselves in harms way to provide PUBLIC SAFETY and security and to allow us all to live in our communities WITHOUT FEAR.
