Reed replaces Jeff Fritz, who recently retired, stated the release.
Reed will provide operational oversight and direction to New Hanover Juvenile Detention Center, one of seven state-operated juvenile detention centers.
“Elderwin is extremely dedicated to Juvenile Justice and readily accepts the challenges of working with at-risk youth,” said Angela Smith, the facility operations director for the Juvenile Justice Section. “He is a strong and motivated mentor to his staff and takes tremendous pride in the quality of his work. We are fortunate to expand the role of Elderwin as we continue to provide effective intervention with the young people that we serve.”
