Oregon Governor Appoints Ryan Keck as Criminal Justice Commission Director
SALEM — Governor Tina Kotek announced on October 1 the appointment of Ryan Keck as permanent executive director of the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission (CJC), effective immediately. Keck brings 27 years of public service experience, beginning as a corrections deputy and later serving in leadership roles at the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training, where he helped launch the Center for Policing Excellence, the nation's first statewide initiative to educate law enforcement on evidence-based policing.
Keck joined the Criminal Justice Commission in 2021 as Programs Director and Deputy Director, directing seven statewide grant programs focused on justice system innovation. He has served as interim director since April 2025. "Ryan has done excellent work leading the agency as the interim executive director, and I believe he will continue to deliver an effective, collaborative, and evidence-based approach to strengthening community safety throughout Oregon," Kotek said.
The commission provides data, analysis and evidence-informed policy development across Oregon's justice systems and manages multiple justice innovation grant programs. Keck will also continue supporting the Juvenile Justice Policy Commission.
