Since his election in 1998, Greg has been instrumental in many improvements at the Campbell County Detention Center.  The starting pay for a Deputy Jailer was increased to attract more qualified candidates and a two-week training program was created for newly hired deputies. The community service program and the Campbell County Detention Center is now the biggest contributor to the Adopt-a-Highway program in Campbell County.

Greg, in conjunction with the Campbell County Fiscal Court and the Kentucky Department of Corrections, designed and built the Restricted Custody Center which now houses 120 inmates and provides revenue for the county.  

Recognizing the need for an up-to-date medical department, Greg has recently opened a new medical center inside the facility.
