Macias announced the appoint- ment of Bryan Baker as Director of the Doña Ana County Detention Cen- ter. Since March, Baker served as interim director of the Detention Center, following the departure of the former director, Daniel Peters. “As an interim director, Bryan demonstrated his leadership and opera- tional capabilities as he immediately faced the unprecedented challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Macias said. “He quickly implemented a variety of initiatives to help mitigate the spread of the virus within the center, in- cluding frequently disinfecting high-traffic areas, engaging medical staff to start an infection control program and defining a quarantine area for new arrivals. He has clearly earned this appointment.” Baker joined the Detention Center as a cadet in June 2001. Throughout his tenure, he has worked in every area of the center. He was promoted to Sergeant in 2005 and Lieutenant in 2008, becoming a Captain in 2014. He earned a Jail Manager certification from the American Jail Association in 2016 and recertified in 2020, making him one of only three people with such a certification, in the state of New Mexico. “The constant challenge we face in corrections is change. Change in personnel; change in technology and equipment; and change in best prac- tices,” Baker said. “To remain at the forefront in our field, we continuous- ly monitor for emerging legislation and best practices in managing both the adult and juvenile facilities.” Baker holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting Degree from the Uni- versity of Phoenix and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from New Mexico State University. With an interest in organizational change and culture, he also earned a Bryan Baker, promoted to Detention Center Director, strives to remain at the forefront of Master of Public Administration and Master of Arts in Sociology, both corrections.
