Deven Richardson B.A., S.S.W.

Since 2012 I have been the OCJA Regional Representative for the Southern Region. I work with The Salvation Army- Correctional and Justice Services London, as the Electronic Supervision Coordinator, and Supervisor of our Court Office at the London Court House. My portfolio also includes health and safety training for our staff team of 20, as well as policy development and review. I have been in this role since 2011.

Community corrections is such a diverse field with many elements and service areas. One of the benefits of my position is that I have an understanding of both front line service delivery, and some of the challenges faced by those in a managerial capacity. This fall, the Southern Region is responsible for planning the OCJA conference. As such, I'm looking forward to a busy but productive 2017. Please contact me if you're interested in this conference, or represent an agency in the region interested in membership with the OCJA.
