Assistant Chief
Norman Broderick
"Interpersonal relationships are key. Having compassion, a tactical mindset, being outwardly composed. Being somebody who can come in and not only see the offender, but also what our office can do to better their life and the community while securing public safety. That's what excellence in a CSO looks like."
Prior to working with DCS, Broderick served in the United States Army for 24 years, rising to the rank of first sergeant. Since beginning his second career with DCS in 2012, Broderick has supervised high-risk offenders, sex offenders, and most recently, supervising a mental-health caseload in the Atlanta Judicial Circuit.
After retiring from the military, Broderick still felt the commitment to serve: “I knew I wanted to serve my country or my community. I liked the fact that in community supervision there are so many good things we can make happen in the lives of the offenders and their families.”
