There's been a shake-up within North Carolina's Department of Public Safety. A top administrator has a new job and two others are no longer listed among agency leaders.
The reorganization announced this week by Secretary Frank Perry comes as the recently approved state budget eliminated the position of law enforcement commissioner, which had been held by Gregory Baker. Baker now has a newly-created post - commissioner of operations.
Not on the new organizational chart are Commissioner of Administration William Crews and Chief Operating Officer Lorrie Dollar. Dollar is a longtime state employee and wife of top House budget-writer Rep. Nelson Dollar.
Department spokeswoman Pam Walker told media outlets the agency has already been working to identify "great opportunities" in state government for those involved in the reorganization.
