RALEIGH - Correction Secretary Mack Jarvis has named Robert M. Harrell judicial district manager for 6B which includes Hertford, Bertie, and Northampton counties.
"Mr. Harrell is a dedicated and able employee who has moved up through the ranks," said Secretary Jarvis. "His leadership skills and more than two decades of experience in probation and parole will make him effective in his new position."

He was promoted to intensive officer in 1991 and appointed chief probation and parole officer in 1994. "I'm excited about the new position," Harrell said. "I hope to help probation and parole officers in district 6B rehabilitate more offenders in the community to help relieve the overcrowded prison population." |
