Chinn Planning, Inc. was established in March 1993. Ms. Chinn is the sole owner of the business, which is a certified Woman Business Enterprise (WBE). The firm provides a range of innovative public sector consulting services in the areas of law enforcement, corrections, courts, juvenile justice, general administrative services, social services, behavioral health, alcohol and drug abuse programs and health care.
Collaboration with an outside consultant can provide answers. A working partnership between consultant and client can bridge the gap between theory and results by suggesting innovative options tailored to meet budget constraints and societal goals. Implementing these options and achieving success permits effective use of resources applied to existing problem areas with measurable results.
Under the magnifying glass of public scrutiny, the pressure brought to bear within agencies can often cloud the issues--a case of not being able to see the forest for the trees. Chinn Planning Inc. works in partnership with government agencies and officials throughout the United States to clarify system improvements and expansion needs for government operations and facilities. Recommendations and plans developed by Chinn Planning Inc. are based on a thorough system analysis, and vast experience in government sector planning and programming.
The senior staff of the firm represents over four decades of experience in government service and public sector consulting. Chinn Planning Inc. understands the vital importance of building a working partnership between the client and the consultant. Through this collaboration, Chinn Planning Inc., and its clients are able to explore the innovative options, which enable government to fulfill its commitment of service to its citizens.
Vast experience in program evaluation, operational analyses and facility programming for government agencies, with a strong focus on criminal justice, law enforcement, juvenile justice, administrative, and human services provide valuable insight for workable solutions to improve service delivery through effective use of limited resources.
