COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Gov. Ted Strickland has named a new director for the Ohio Department of Public Safety, a week after the previous director stepped down.
Strickland on Thursday appointed Cathy Collins-Taylor, who has served as executive director of an investigative unit inside the agency.
She replaces former Public Safety Director Henry Guzman, who resigned last week along with former State Highway Patrol superintendent Col. Richard Collins.
Guzman said he wanted to work in another part of the administration, and Collins said he resigned so that new leadership at the patrol could work with the department to move forward collaboratively.
Strickland says he is confident that Collins-Taylor will be able to work with divisions within the department to ensure that the agency is running effectively.
