Background

About Matthew Baumgartner

As Chief of Security at North Central Correctional Complex, I lead with a commitment to safety, accountability, and transformation. With over 19 years of experience in corrections, I’ve built a reputation for strategic thinking, crisis management, and developing high-performing teams that prioritize institutional security and staff integrity. Currently pursuing my MBA in Business Analytics, I merge operational leadership with data-driven decision-making to improve facility performance and enhance staff efficiency. My academic and professional journey reflects a passion for continuous improvement—whether it’s creating policies that save lives, designing tracking systems that drive accountability, or mentoring future leaders in corrections. I’m focused on fostering a culture where transparency, responsibility, and leadership development are non-negotiable. My goal? To lead an institution where innovation, safety, and professionalism set the standard.
