Gov. Perdue Announces Rep. Guice to Head Community Corrections Moose Named Executive Officer in Adult Corrections
RALEIGH – Gov. Bev Perdue today announced that Rep. W. David Guice, a Republican from Transylvania County, has been named director of Community Corrections for the new Department of Public Safety. Guice succeeds Tim Moose, who has been named executive officer for the Division of Adult Corrections. Both positions are effective Jan. 1, 2012.
“Government’s most important responsibility is public safety,” Gov. Perdue said. “Rep. Guice’s appointment reflects my continued commitment to protecting our communities and putting the best technology and information in the hands of those on the front lines of that effort. His appointment also highlights how far I am willing to reach across party lines to work together.”
“David Guice's leadership will be missed in the House,” House Speaker Thom Tillis said, “but I am confident that he will continue to serve our state and our citizens as remarkably as he has in the past.”
“I am humbled and appreciate the opportunity to serve in this key role,” Guice said. “Many improvements have been made in community corrections under Gov. Perdue’s leadership, and I look forward to building on those advances and on the achievements under Tim Moose. I appreciate all the staff’s hard work.”
Guice has served as a member of the state House of Representatives since 2009. He retired from the Department of Correction in February 2009 following a 30-year career including service as a probation officer, a chief probation parole officer and a parole services manager overseeing operations in 27 western counties.
