Governor Steve Beshear Appoints Deputy Secretary of the Justice & Public Safety Cabinet

FRANKFORT, KY (December 19, 2007) – Governor Steve Beshear today announced the appointment of Charles Geveden, age 67, as Deputy Secretary for the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet. Geveden has spent the last three years as the Executive Director of the Office of Criminal Appeals at the Attorney General’s Office.

“Charles’ qualifications and distinguished career in state government will make him a tremendous asset to the Cabinet,” said Beshear. “He has spent most of his career devoted to public service and I know he will continue to serve the people of the Commonwealth well assisting Secretary Brown in the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet.”

Geveden served 17 years in the Kentucky General Assembly representing House District 1, covering Ballard, Carlisle, Fulton, Hickman and McCracken Counties. During his service as Representative, he chaired the State Government Committee and was a member of the House Judiciary Committee and the Economic Development Committee. Geveden, who practiced law for 36 years in Wickliffe, served as Commonwealth’s Attorney for the First Judicial District prior to his years in the Legislature.

“Charles Geveden’s extensive background, leadership and experience make him the ideal choice for this position,” said Justice and Public Safety Cabinet Secretary J. Michael Brown. “As a member of the Judiciary Committee in 1996, he was instrumental in the passage of House Bill 117, which established the Department of Juvenile Justice. I am confident he will continue to serve the Governor and this Cabinet well.”

“I am honored to be selected for this key role in Governor Beshear’s administration,” said Geveden. “I appreciate the opportunity to serve as the deputy secretary for the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet, looking forward to working with the staff to make Kentucky a better and safer place to live.”

Geveden received a Bachelor of Arts from Vanderbilt University in 1962 and then his JD degree from University of Louisville School of Law in 1968. He resides in Frankfort with his wife Patricia.
