(KAIR)--The Chief Court Services Officer for the local 1st Judicial District has been re-elected president of the Kansas Association of Court Services Officers.

According to a release from the Kansas Courts, Tom Weishaar earned the vote of support to maintain the role during the Court Services Officers Association's fall conference.

Weishaar, the release says, joined the judicial branch in 1986 as a court services officer in the 1st Judicial District, composed of Atchison and Leavenworth counties. He has served as chief court services officer for the district since 2000, and has been a member of the association since 1986, previously serving as interim president and vice president.

Weishaar, in the release, says he is "privileged to serve with some of the most talented, dedicated court services officers,” adding that "they, along with the many volunteer officers who serve on various committees, have positioned the association to be in great shape for the future.”

The release explains that court services officers "contribute to the safety and well-being of all Kansans," supervising adults and juveniles sentenced to probation for their crimes, among numerous other responsibilities.
