He was also a lecturer and associate professor at the Graduate School of Public Administration of the University of Puerto Rico and a lawyer in private practice from 1964 to 1983, the year in which he died.

Torres Braschi voluntarily enlisted in the United States National Guard based in Puerto Rico, which was about to be federalized in 1940.

In 1946, he completed his studies at the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) graduating with a bachelor's degree in commercial administration (BBA) (cum laude).

Upon his return to Puerto Rico and after the death of Don Manuel A. Pérez in 1951, Torres Braschi served as interim Chief Personnel Officer until he was formally appointed to the post in 1952.

Among the most notable events during his tenure were visits to Puerto Rico by U.S. Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower in February 1960, and John F. Kennedy in December 1961.

Under the leadership of Torres Braschi, programming related to new standards in public service was intensified in all its aspects; education and prevention work was expanded through the existing youth institutions in the Corps; preferential attention was given to civic activities, as well as communication agencies consisting of press, radio and others; great emphasis was placed on the promotion of human and social relations in general; due recognition of the efficiency and dedication in the service of the members of the Corps; due attention was paid to the retired members of the institution, especially in support of the institutions created by them for their protection.

Mr. Torres Braschi also imprinted great human sense on all procedures related to the mission of our police agency, disassociating himself, as far as possible in an armed body, from the sordid and mechanistic aspect of the military organizations, whose mission does not go beyond, as is the case in the police forces in their functional process, to direct service to citizens for their defense and individual protection ...Since 1951, Torres Braschi had been associated to the UPR Graduate School of Public Administration, initially as an ad honorem lecturer.

He was also an ad hoc consultant on personnel administration issues for the governments of El Salvador, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic.
