Flores is out! Jeff Slowikowski be acting OJJDP Administrator.

Yup, J. Robert Flores left the building on Wednesday. More like the DOJ had to quietly sneak Flores out before people start questioning.

Jeff Slowikowski, the associate administrator of the demonstration programs division, will become the acting administrator for the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). He replaces outgoing Administrator J. Robert Flores, who left the agency yesterday[Wednesday].

Slowikowski joined OJJDP in 1990 after a graduate fellowship at the Schaefer Center for Public Policy in Baltimore. He has managed projects including the development of OJJDP's Comprehensive Strategy for Serious, Violent, and Chronic Juvenile Offenders and Pulling America's Communities Together.

Slowikowski was an auxiliary police officer with the Baltimore County Police Department for four years, where he worked in the Crime Analysis Unit and assisted staff in the development of the Baltimore Police Department's local crime report and subsequent data submissions to the FBI's Uniform Crime Report.

He will be a "supervisory official" until Jan. 21st, which is the first date that acting administrators can be named, according to OJJDP spokeswoman Kara McCarthy.

As a reminder, Slowikowski told the Oversight and Reform committee that Flores and Michele DeKonty, Flores' Chief of Staff who later was fired because she pleaded the 5th and was a no show to the House committee's hearing in June 2008 "then directed program staff to help the World Golf Foundation in preparing its application." "It was made clear to me that we had to ... work with World Golf and make sure that they got their application in," he told the committee, according to a memo.Click here for more info.

And I notice that the OJJDP Administrator info on the OJJDP website is gone. Click here. I hope the Oversight and Reform committee, OIG, and Senate Judiciary committee continues to Flores' probe despite he left the agency.
