Grayson County judges announce leadership changes in probation offices
Summary
Judges announced that Jason Kirk will serve as Grayson County's new adult probation chief and Alan Brown will become juvenile probation director after 16 years with the department. Judges and commissioners praised both men and noted continuity in probation oversight.
Judges at the Grayson County Commissioners Court announced two leadership changes in local probation services, naming Jason Kirk the county's new adult probation chief and moving Alan Brown to serve as juvenile probation director.
The announcement, made during the court's March session, thanked Brown for 16 years of service and described both appointments as part of a planned leadership transition. "We've got two wonderful directors in our community, that serve with integrity, that follow the law, that care about public safety," a judge said during the presentation.
Court remarks said the adult probation office employs 39 people and emphasized continuity between the offices: the new appointments were presented as internal promotions and described as advantageous for both adult and juvenile supervision. The court noted that the juvenile board is chaired by Judge Fallon and that Judge Dawson also serves on that board.
Alan Brown responded to the recognition, saying he was "very fortunate to work here in Grayson County" and expressing appreciation for the opportunity. The judge who introduced the appointments encouraged the community to thank both men for their service.
Commissioners also offered brief comments of support during commissioner-court comments, with several members calling the change a positive step for the county's probation programs. The court did not take a formal vote on the personnel announcements; they were presented as administrative appointments.
