Barry Andrew

WARSAW — After leaving over two weeks ago for a new job at the Lilly Center for Lakes and Streams, Barry Andrew has been reinstated as Kosciusko County Community Corrections Director.

According to a press release from the Kosciusko County Prosecutor’s Office, Andrew requested a meeting with the Community Corrections Executive Committee. This meeting occurred prior to the committee beginning to review applications for the director position.

“As a result of this meeting, the executive committee, comprised of Judge Michael Reed, Judge Karin McGrath, attorney Antony Garza, and Prosecuting Attorney Dan Hampton, recommended to the Kosciusko County Community Corrections Advisory Board that Barry Andrew be reinstated as the director,” read the press release. “On July 11, the regularly scheduled meeting of the advisory board, the board unanimously approved Andrew’s reinstatement as director.”

The press release did not provide a reason for Andrew leaving Lilly Center and returning as community corrections director.

Andrew has worked as the community corrections director since October 2019.

Including his tenure as director, Andrew had invested almost 19 continuous years of employment within the Kosciusko County criminal justice system. Over those year, Andrew had been the director of the Kosciusko County Alcohol and Drug Program and the Kosciusko County Drug Court Coordinator. During his county service, Andrew was instrumental in securing hundreds of thousands of grant dollars to begin and/or enhance rehabilitation programs for the Kosciusko County criminal justice system.

Upon being reinstated as director of Kosciusko County Community Corrections, Andrew communicated his profound gratitude and expressed that this learning experience has rekindled his spirit. He looks forward to rejoining the team and working to take the Kosciusko County Community Corrections program to the next level of rehabilitation and supervision.
