The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) has named Jim Holcomb as its new judicial safety program manager. In the role, Holcomb will lead a coordinated, proactive strategy to protect those who serve in Tennessee’s justice system. He will serve as the primary safety liaison across state and local law enforcement, courts and state agencies, as well as oversee implementation of judicial safety policies, support education and training efforts, and monitor the effectiveness of investigative responses when security concerns arise. Holcomb previously served as a senior special agent in protective operations, investigations and training for the U.S. Secret Service. “We are excited to welcome Jim to our team and into this newly established role. His high-level background and heart for service are a great match for the safety and security needs of our judiciary,” AOC Director Michelle Long said in a press release.
