  1. Leadership Structure of the Department of Justice's Community Relations Service
  2. I. Executive Summary
  3.  
  4. The Department of Justice's Community Relations Service (CRS) plays a crucial role in American society by mediating community conflicts arising from differences based on race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, and disability. This report aims to delineate the leadership structure of the CRS, both at its national headquarters and across its network of regional offices. Understanding this framework is essential for comprehending how the CRS operates to fulfill its mission of fostering peaceful community relations throughout the United States. The analysis identifies key personnel at the headquarters level and provides an overview of the leadership in each of the five official CRS regions, highlighting the decentralized nature of the agency's operations and its commitment to local engagement.  
  5.  
  6. II. Introduction to the Community Relations Service
  7.  
  8. Established in 1964 under Title X of the Civil Rights Act, the Community Relations Service initially focused on resolving disputes related to discriminatory practices based on race, color, or national origin. Over time, its mandate has expanded significantly through subsequent legislation. The Fair Housing Act of 1968 broadened its scope to include discriminatory housing practices, followed by the Church Arson Prevention Act of 1996, which addressed tensions arising from crimes against religious property. The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 further extended CRS's jurisdiction to encompass conflicts stemming from hate crimes based on gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, and disability.  
  9.  
  10. The core mission of the CRS is to provide violence prevention and conflict resolution services to a diverse range of stakeholders. The agency works to resolve community-level disputes and prevent future conflicts through various methods, including facilitated dialogue, mediation, training, and consultation. It is important to note that the CRS operates as a neutral and impartial entity, without any investigatory or prosecutorial authority. All services provided by the CRS are confidential and offered free of charge to communities that voluntarily seek or accept assistance.  
  11.  
  12. The organizational structure of the CRS comprises a national headquarters located in Washington, D.C., and a network of strategically positioned regional offices across the United States. An organizational chart indicates a hierarchical structure, with a Director at the helm, supported by a Deputy Director, Regional Directors, and regional and field office staff. This framework allows the CRS to address community conflicts at both a national strategic level and a localized, community-specific level. The expansion of the CRS's mandate over the years to include a wider array of identity-based disputes demonstrates a growing societal recognition of the diverse origins of community conflict. This necessitates that the agency's leadership possesses a broad understanding of various social and cultural dynamics. Furthermore, the CRS's reliance on impartial mediation and dialogue, rather than enforcement powers, highlights the critical need for its leaders to have exceptional communication abilities, empathy, and the capacity to cultivate trust among diverse community stakeholders.  
  13.  
  14. III. Headquarters Leadership
  15.  
  16. The organizational structure of the Community Relations Service headquarters includes several key leadership positions.  
  17.  
  18. Director: The head of the agency, responsible for its overall direction and management. While several individuals have served as Director in the past , recent information suggests Justin Lock holds a significant leadership role, referred to as "current head" and "Chief of Staff Performing Duties of the Director" as of January 2024. This indicates a potential acting or interim leadership capacity.  
  19. Deputy Director: Assists the Director in the daily operations and management of the CRS. Gerri Ratliff has been identified as the Deputy Director, as confirmed in a statement before the House Committee on Appropriations. An earlier reference to Gerri L. Ratliff as "Acting" Director in August 2021 appears to be outdated.  
  20. Senior Counsel: Provides legal guidance and advice to the Director and other staff members. Justin Locke is identified as the "senior counsel to the director" , suggesting a dual role alongside his potential responsibilities as the head of the agency in an acting capacity.  
  21. Attorney Advisor: Offers legal and policy expertise to the CRS. This position is outlined in the organizational structure.  
  22. Headquarters Administration and Management Staff: These personnel are responsible for the administrative and operational functions of the CRS headquarters.  
  23. The official contact information for the Community Relations Service headquarters is consistently provided across various sources:
  24.  
  25. Address: 145 N Street, NE, Suite 5E.300, Washington, DC 20530  
  26. Phone: 202.305.2935  
  27. Email: [email protected]  
  28. The consistent availability of these contact details underscores the CRS's commitment to public accessibility and facilitating communication with the communities it serves. The combination of potential acting leadership roles at the top, alongside a designated Deputy Director and Senior Counsel, suggests a functional leadership team guiding the agency's national operations.

  37. IV. Regional Office Leadership
  38.  
  39. A. Overview of CRS Regional Structure
  40. The Community Relations Service operates through a decentralized network of regional offices to effectively serve diverse communities across the United States. This structure includes five official regions:  
  41.  
  42. Atlantic North Region: Encompassing Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and the Virgin Islands.  
  43. South Region: Covering Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.  
  44. Midwest Region: Including Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, and Wisconsin.  
  45. West Region: Spanning Alaska, California, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.  
  46. Mountain Central Region: Covering Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.  
  47. Within these regions, the CRS further maintains strategically located field offices to enhance its local presence and responsiveness. This decentralized approach allows the CRS to tailor its services to the specific needs and contexts of different geographic areas, fostering stronger relationships with local communities and enabling quicker responses during times of conflict or crisis. The division into these specific regions likely allows CRS staff to develop focused expertise and build relevant partnerships within their assigned areas, leading to more effective conflict resolution and prevention efforts. It is worth noting that some sources mention a "Northwestern Region" , which is not listed as one of the five official regions. Vincent Plair is identified as overseeing the "Rocky Mountain, Western, and Northwestern regions," suggesting a potential historical regional configuration or an internal grouping that differs from the current publicly presented structure.  
  48.  
  49. B. Leadership Directory by Region
  50. The leadership at the regional level, primarily through Regional Directors, is crucial for the CRS's on-the-ground operations.
  51.  
  52. Atlantic North Region: This region serves Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Virginia, Virgin Islands, Vermont, and West Virginia. Charles Phillips has been identified as the Regional Director for this region by an external source. However, the official CRS page for the Atlantic North Region lists field offices in Baltimore, Boston, Erie, New York, Philadelphia, and Portland but does not explicitly name a Regional Director.  
  53. South Region: Covering Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, the current Regional Director for this official region is not explicitly identified in the provided materials. Some snippets refer to Cynthia Taylor as the Regional Director for the "Southwestern Region" or a combination of regions including the Southeast and Southwest , but this does not align with the official "South Region" designation. The official CRS page for the South Region lists field offices in Atlanta, Charlotte, Miami, New Orleans, and Orlando but does not name a Regional Director.  
  54. Midwest Region: Serving Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, and Wisconsin, the current Regional Director for this official region is not explicitly found. Meg Gorecki is mentioned as the Regional Director in some archived sources , but the official CRS page for the Midwest Region, which lists field offices in Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Madison, Minneapolis, and St. Louis, does not name a current Regional Director.  
  55. West Region: This region includes Alaska, California, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. Vincent Plair is identified as the Regional Director overseeing the West Region. While the official CRS page for the West Region indicates that this information is unavailable , multiple other sources confirm Vincent Plair's role.  
  56. Mountain Central Region: Covering Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming, Rosa Salamanca is identified as the Regional Director for this region. This information is supported by external sources. The official CRS page for the Mountain Central Region lists field offices in Albuquerque, Dallas, Denver, Phoenix, and San Antonio but does not explicitly name a Regional Director.

  66. V. Conclusion
  67.  
  68. The leadership of the Department of Justice's Community Relations Service comprises key personnel at its Washington, D.C. headquarters and Regional Directors overseeing five distinct geographic regions. At the headquarters level, Justin Lock appears to be the head of the agency in an acting capacity, supported by Deputy Director Gerri Ratliff and Senior Counsel Justin Locke. The agency also relies on Attorney Advisors and administrative staff to manage its national operations.
  69.  
  70. Across the regional offices, the leadership structure is headed by Regional Directors. Charles Phillips is identified as the Regional Director for the Atlantic North Region, Vincent Plair for the West Region, and Rosa Salamanca for the Mountain Central Region. However, the current Regional Directors for the South and Midwest Regions are not explicitly identified in the provided research materials. Notably, some external sources and archived materials refer to a "Southwestern Region" and mention past leadership for the Midwest Region, suggesting potential organizational changes over time.
  71.  
  72. The decentralized regional structure, with identified leaders in most regions, indicates the CRS's commitment to local engagement and responsiveness in addressing community conflicts. However, the reliance on external sources for some regional leadership information and the absence of this data on the official CRS regional websites highlight a potential area for improvement in the agency's transparency and communication practices. Ensuring that up-to-date leadership directories are readily available on the official website would greatly benefit stakeholders and the public seeking to connect with the CRS at the regional level. Further research into the specific roles and responsibilities of headquarters staff and the leadership within individual field offices could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the CRS's operational framework. The discrepancies found between external sources and the official website also underscore the importance of prioritizing the most current and authoritative information directly from the agency.# Leadership Structure of the Department of Justice's Community Relations Service

  74. I. Executive Summary
  75.  
  76. The Department of Justice's Community Relations Service (CRS) acts as a crucial intermediary in American communities, tasked with the vital role of mediating conflicts that arise from differences in identity, including race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, and disability. This report provides a detailed analysis of the leadership structure within the CRS, examining both the personnel at its national headquarters and those directing its operations across the United States through a network of regional offices. Understanding this organizational framework is fundamental to grasping how the CRS effectively carries out its mission of promoting peaceful community relations nationwide. The findings of this analysis identify key individuals holding leadership positions at the headquarters level and outline the leadership within each of the five official CRS regions, highlighting the geographically distributed nature of the agency and its dedication to engaging with communities at a local level.  
  77.  
  78. II. Introduction to the Community Relations Service
  79.  
  80. The Community Relations Service was established in 1964 through Title X of the landmark Civil Rights Act, initially with the specific purpose of assisting communities in resolving disputes related to discriminatory practices based on race, color, or national origin. Over the subsequent decades, the CRS's mandate has broadened significantly, reflecting an evolving understanding of civil rights and the diverse sources of community conflict. The Fair Housing Act of 1968 extended the agency's purview to include issues of discriminatory housing practices. Later, the Church Arson Prevention Act of 1996 added the responsibility of providing reconciliation services to communities experiencing tension due to crimes against religious property. Most recently, the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 further expanded the CRS's jurisdiction to encompass conflicts arising from alleged hate crimes based on gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, and disability.  
  81.  
  82. The central mission of the CRS is to offer violence prevention and conflict resolution services to a wide array of stakeholders. The agency strives to resolve disputes at the community level and proactively prevent future conflicts through the application of various techniques, including facilitated dialogue, mediation, training, and consultation. It is crucial to recognize that the CRS operates as a neutral and impartial entity, distinct from law enforcement agencies and without any authority to conduct investigations or prosecutions. All services provided by the CRS are confidential and are offered at no cost to communities that voluntarily request or accept their assistance.  
  83.  
  84. The organizational structure of the CRS is designed to ensure both national oversight and localized community engagement. It includes a national headquarters situated in Washington, D.C., and a network of strategically located regional offices that span the entirety of the United States. An internal organizational chart illustrates a hierarchical structure, with a Director at the apex, supported by a Deputy Director, Regional Directors, and a cadre of staff operating within regional and field offices. This framework enables the CRS to address community conflicts from a national strategic perspective while also maintaining a strong presence and responsiveness at the local level. The broadening of the CRS's mandate over time to address conflicts rooted in a wider spectrum of identity-based differences underscores a growing societal understanding of civil rights and the multifaceted nature of discrimination and conflict. This necessitates that the individuals in leadership roles within the CRS possess a comprehensive understanding of diverse social and cultural dynamics. Moreover, given the CRS's reliance on impartial mediation and dialogue as its primary tools, the effectiveness of its leadership is intrinsically linked to exceptional communication skills, a high degree of empathy, and the ability to cultivate trust and build rapport with a diverse range of community stakeholders.  
  85.  
  86. III. Headquarters Leadership
  87.  
  88. The central administrative functions and strategic direction of the Community Relations Service are managed at its headquarters, which houses several key leadership positions as outlined in its organizational structure. These positions include:  
  89.  
  90. Director: As the head of the agency, the Director holds the ultimate responsibility for the CRS's overall direction, policies, and operational effectiveness. While historical records and past reports mention individuals such as Grande Lum and Paul Monteiro as having served in this role , more recent information indicates that Justin Lock holds a prominent leadership position within the agency. He is referred to as the "current head" and, as of January 2024, was noted as "Chief of Staff Performing Duties of the Director". This suggests that Mr. Lock is currently leading the agency, potentially in an acting or interim capacity.  
  91. Deputy Director: This role is crucial for assisting the Director in the daily management and operational oversight of the CRS. Gerri Ratliff has been consistently identified as the Deputy Director of the CRS. While an earlier reference from August 2021 listed Ms. Ratliff as "Acting" Director , this information appears to be outdated given more recent and direct confirmations of her role as Deputy Director.  
  92. Senior Counsel: Providing essential legal advice and counsel to the Director and other staff members is the responsibility of the Senior Counsel. Justin Locke has been identified as the "senior counsel to the director". His apparent dual role as both the head of the agency (potentially acting) and Senior Counsel highlights his significant influence and responsibilities within the CRS leadership structure.  
  93. Attorney Advisor: This position within the headquarters provides legal and policy guidance to the agency, contributing to the development and implementation of its programs and initiatives.  
  94. Headquarters Administration and Management Staff: This group of personnel is essential for the smooth functioning of the CRS headquarters, managing the day-to-day administrative and operational tasks that support the agency's mission.  
  95. The Community Relations Service ensures its accessibility by providing clear and consistent contact information for its headquarters:
  96.  
  97. Address: 145 N Street, NE, Suite 5E.300, Washington, DC 20530  
  98. Phone: 202.305.2935  
  99. Email: [email protected]  
  100. The consistent availability of this contact information underscores the CRS's commitment to transparency and its desire to facilitate open communication with the communities it serves. The current leadership structure at the headquarters, featuring a potential acting Director, a confirmed Deputy Director, and a Senior Counsel who may also be leading the agency, suggests a functional team guiding the CRS's national efforts in conflict resolution and community building.

  110.  
  111. A. Overview of CRS Regional Structure
  112. To effectively address the diverse needs of communities across the United States, the Community Relations Service employs a geographically distributed organizational structure, operating through five official regions. This regional framework allows the CRS to establish a presence in different parts of the country, enabling it to better understand and respond to the unique challenges and dynamics of local communities. The five official regions are:  
  113.  
  114. Atlantic North Region: This region encompasses a significant portion of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, including Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and the Virgin Islands.  
  115. South Region: The South Region covers a broad area of the southeastern United States, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.  
  116. Midwest Region: This region serves a large portion of the central United States, including Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, and Wisconsin.  
  117. West Region: The West Region extends across the westernmost states and territories, including Alaska, California, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.  
  118. Mountain Central Region: This region covers a large expanse of the central-mountain states, including Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.  
  119. In addition to these regional offices, the CRS further enhances its local presence through strategically located field offices within each region. This decentralized structure is designed to maximize the availability of CRS services, allowing the agency to address the specific needs of diverse communities and to facilitate timely responses to local conflicts and crises. By establishing a regional presence, the CRS aims to cultivate expertise and build strong relationships tailored to the unique social, cultural, and demographic characteristics of each region, ultimately leading to more effective conflict resolution and prevention initiatives. It is noteworthy that some research materials refer to a "Northwestern Region" , which is not officially listed as one of the five current regions on the CRS website. Vincent Plair is identified as overseeing the "Rocky Mountain, Western, and Northwestern regions," suggesting a potential historical regional configuration or an internal grouping that differs from the current public-facing structure.  
  120.  
  121. B. Leadership Directory by Region
  122. The leadership of the CRS at the regional level is primarily vested in Regional Directors, who play a crucial role in guiding the agency's on-the-ground operations and community engagement efforts.
  123.  
  124. Atlantic North Region: This region serves Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Virginia, Virgin Islands, Vermont, and West Virginia. Charles Phillips has been identified as the Regional Director for the Atlantic North Region through an external source, the Eradicate Hate Global Summit. However, the official CRS page for this region provides contact information for field offices located in Baltimore, Boston, Erie, New York, Philadelphia, and Portland but does not explicitly name a current Regional Director.  
  125. South Region: Covering Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, the current Regional Director for this official region is not explicitly identified within the provided research materials. While snippets refer to Cynthia Taylor as the Regional Director for the "Southwestern Region" or a combination of regions including the Southeast and Southwest , these designations do not align with the official "South Region." The official CRS page for the South Region lists field offices in Atlanta, Charlotte, Miami, New Orleans, and Orlando but does not name a Regional Director.  
  126. Midwest Region: Serving Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, and Wisconsin, the current Regional Director for this official region is not explicitly found in the most recent sources. Meg Gorecki is mentioned as the Regional Director in some archived materials , but the official CRS page for the Midwest Region, which provides contact information for field offices in Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Madison, Minneapolis, and St. Louis, does not identify a current Regional Director.  
  127. West Region: This region includes Alaska, California, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. Vincent Plair has been identified as the Regional Director overseeing the West Region. Although the official CRS page for the West Region indicates that this information is not available , multiple other sources confirm Mr. Plair's role in this capacity.  
  128. Mountain Central Region: Covering Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming, Rosa Salamanca is identified as the Regional Director for this region. This information is supported by external sources such as the Eradicate Hate Global Summit. The official CRS page for the Mountain Central Region lists field offices in Albuquerque, Dallas, Denver, Phoenix, and San Antonio but does not explicitly name a Regional Director.

  138. V. Conclusion
  139.  
  140. The leadership of the Department of Justice's Community Relations Service is structured around key personnel at its national headquarters in Washington, D.C., and Regional Directors who oversee operations across five designated geographic regions. At the headquarters level, the agency appears to be led by Justin Lock, potentially in an acting capacity, with support from Deputy Director Gerri Ratliff and Senior Counsel Justin Locke. Additionally, Attorney Advisors and administrative staff contribute to the agency's national functions.
  141.  
  142. At the regional level, the analysis has identified Charles Phillips as the Regional Director for the Atlantic North Region, Vincent Plair for the West Region, and Rosa Salamanca for the Mountain Central Region. However, the current Regional Directors for the South and Midwest Regions are not explicitly identified in the most up-to-date research materials. It is important to note that some sources refer to a "Southwestern Region" and mention past leadership for the Midwest Region, indicating possible organizational changes or different naming conventions in historical or non-official contexts.
  143.  
  144. The CRS's decentralized regional structure, with identified leaders in most regions, underscores its commitment to engaging with and responding to the specific needs of local communities. Nevertheless, the reliance on external sources for certain regional leadership information, coupled with the absence of this data on the official CRS regional websites, suggests a potential need for the agency to enhance the transparency and accessibility of its leadership information. Ensuring that comprehensive and current leadership directories are readily available on the official CRS website would significantly benefit stakeholders and the public seeking to connect with the agency at the regional level. Further investigation into the specific responsibilities of headquarters staff beyond the top leadership and the leadership structure within individual field offices could provide a more granular understanding of the CRS's overall operational framework. The discrepancies observed between external sources and the official website also highlight the importance of prioritizing information directly from the agency for accuracy and timeliness.

  587. Thoughts
  588. Initial Search for DOJ Website
  589. I started by searching for the official website of the Department of Justice to begin my research on the leadership of the Community Relations Service.
  590. Locating CRS Information
  591. Next, I refined my search to specifically find the section dedicated to the Community Relations Service within the DOJ's website. This will allow me to focus on the relevant information for your request.
  592. Next Steps: Identifying Leaders
  593. Now that I've likely located the Community Relations Service's section, my next step is to explore the website for pages detailing their organizational structure and leadership, both at the headquarters and within their regional offices.

  611. Finding the Right Website
  612. I've identified several potential links for the official Department of Justice website. I'm focusing on the one with the URL 'https://www.justice.gov/' as it seems to be the most relevant starting point for my search.
  613. Targeting CRS Information
  614. To find the specific information you're looking for about the Community Relations Service (CRS), I will now search within the 'justice.gov' website for pages related to the CRS.
  615. Next Action: Explore Leadership
  616. Once I locate the Community Relations Service section on the website, I plan to navigate through it to find details about their leadership structure, including both the headquarters and regional office personnel.

  631. CRS Website Identified
  632. I've successfully found the official website for the Community Relations Service, which is located at 'https://www.justice.gov/crs'. This looks like the right place to find the leadership information I need.
  633. Information Needed
  634. Now that I've found the CRS website, I need to explore it to find details about the leadership at their headquarters. I'll also be looking for information on their regional offices and who is in charge of each one.
  635. Next Steps: Browsing for Details
  636. My next step is to browse the CRS homepage. I will be looking for sections like 'About Us', 'Leadership', or 'Organization' to pinpoint the leaders at the main office. I'll also be searching for a list of their regional offices on the site.

  642. Director Information
  643. I've noticed that the name of the Director isn't directly available on the Community Relations Service website's main page. It seems the best way to get this information might be to contact them directly.
  644. Regional Office Details
  645. I did find a mention that information about the regional offices can be found within the 'About CRS' section of their website. Specifically, there's a link that says 'Find Your Local CRS Office' which should lead to the details you're looking for.
  646. Next Steps: Deeper Dive
  647. To gather the information about the Director and the regional office leadership, I will now try to locate the 'About CRS' page using a targeted search. Once I find it, I'll browse that page and the 'Find Your Local CRS Office' section to identify the names and titles of the relevant individuals.

  666. I've located the main 'About CRS' page on the Department of Justice website. This seems like a promising place to find the information I need about the leadership.
  667. Next Steps: Exploring the Page
  668. My plan is to now explore the 'About CRS' page. I will be looking for details about the Director of the Community Relations Service and also for a link that will take me to information about their regional offices.

  674. Regional Offices Identified
  675. I've found a page listing the Community Relations Service's regional offices. This page shows the different regions (Atlantic North, South, Midwest, West, and Mountain Central) and the states each one covers. It also provides a link for each region and for the headquarters.
  676. Leadership Information Missing
  677. Unfortunately, neither the 'About CRS' page nor the page listing the regional offices contained the names of the Director or the Regional Directors. I need to look further to find this specific leadership information.
  678. Further Investigation Planned
  679. To find the leadership details, I will now examine the specific page for the CRS Headquarters. Following that, I will visit each of the regional office pages to see if their leadership is mentioned there. If I still haven't found the information, I will try searching online specifically for the 'Regional Director' or 'head of office' for each Community Relations Service region.

  702. Targeted Searches Planned
  703. To try and locate the missing leadership information, I will now perform specific online searches. I plan to look for the Director of the Community Relations Service and the heads of each regional office, including the Atlantic North, South, Midwest, West, and Mountain Central regions.

  765. Director Identified
  766. I've found information indicating that Justin Lock is the current Director of the Community Relations Service, according to a source from Stanford Law School.
  767. Regional Leaders Found
  768. I've also identified several Regional Directors: Charles Phillips for the Atlantic North Region, Rosa Salamanca for the Mountain Central Region, Meg Gorecki for the Midwest Region, Vincent Plair for the West Region, and Synthia Taylor for what appears to be the South Region (referred to as Southwestern in one source).
  769. Remaining Questions
  770. While I've found some leads, I still need to confirm if these regional director roles are current and to find out more about the leadership structure at the Community Relations Service headquarters beyond the Director.
  771. Next Steps: Verification
  772. To get a clearer picture, I will now search for the most recent organizational chart for the Community Relations Service and try to verify the current roles of the identified Regional Directors. I will also look for more details about the leadership team at the headquarters level.

  828. Leadership Roles Confirmed
  829. I've found information that confirms the existence of a Director, Deputy Director, and Regional Directors within the Community Relations Service (CRS). The CRS also has five regional offices: Atlantic North, South, Midwest, West, and Mountain Central.
  830. Regional Director Updates
  831. I came across an older reference to a 'Southwestern Region' which seems to correspond to the current 'South Region'. I also found an older news article mentioning Vincent Plair as a new Regional Director without specifying the region, but more recent information suggests he is the Regional Director for the West Region. Additionally, I found names for the Regional Directors in other regions: Charles Phillips (Atlantic North), Rosa Salamanca (Mountain Central), and Meg Gorecki (Midwest).
  832. Next Steps: Official Structure
  833. To get a complete and up-to-date view of the CRS leadership, I will now try to access the official organizational chart on the Department of Justice website. I also want to confirm Vincent Plair's current role and look for a comprehensive leadership directory for the CRS.

  891. Regional Leadership Clarification
  892. I've found that Vincent Plair is the Regional Director for the Rocky Mountain, Western, and Northwestern regions. It seems the term 'Southwestern Region' might be outdated, as current DOJ resources refer to the 'South Region'. I'll need to clarify if the 'Northwestern' region is a current designation and confirm Vincent Plair's exact responsibilities within the listed 'West' and 'Mountain Central' regions.
  893. Information Gaps
  894. I still need to identify the current Deputy Director of the CRS and the Regional Directors for the remaining regions: Atlantic North, South, and Midwest. My searches for leadership directories for 2024 and 2025 haven't provided specific results for the CRS yet.
  895. Next Steps
  896. To continue gathering this information, I will now specifically search for the current Deputy Director of the CRS. I also plan to investigate whether the 'Northwestern' region is a current designation and precisely what Vincent Plair's regional responsibilities are. Finally, I will conduct targeted searches to identify the Regional Directors for the Atlantic North, South, and Midwest regions and determine if Synthia Taylor still holds a leadership position in the 'South Region'.

  977. Headquarters Leadership Update
  978. I've confirmed that Justin Lock is the Director of the Community Relations Service. I also found information indicating that Gerri L. Ratliff was the Acting Deputy Director as of August 2021.
  979. Regional Leadership Insights
  980. I've made progress in identifying the Regional Directors. Vincent Plair is the Regional Director for the West Region. It appears he also oversees the Mountain Central Region. Charles Phillips was mentioned as a Regional Director for the Atlantic North Region in a 2025 event. For the South Region, Synthia Taylor was listed as the Regional Director for the 'Southwestern Region' in 2015, which might be an older name for the current South Region. Meg Gorecki was identified as the Regional Director for the Midwest Region in 2015.
  981. Remaining Questions and Next Actions
  982. There are still some inconsistencies and missing pieces. I need to confirm the current Regional Directors for the Atlantic North, South, and Midwest regions. I also need to understand the relationship between the 'Northwestern' region mentioned in one source and the current regional structure. To resolve these, I will now focus on finding the current Regional Directors for the Atlantic North, South, and Midwest regions and investigate the 'Northwestern' region further.

  1060. Further Research Needed
  1061. I still need to confirm the current Regional Directors for the Atlantic North, South, and Midwest regions. I also encountered a mention of a 'Northwestern' region, and I need to investigate if this is a current designation and how it fits within the existing regional structure.

  1141. I've gathered more details about the leadership in the regional offices. Charles Phillips appears to be the Regional Director for the Atlantic North Region, based on a 2025 event listing.

  1142. Finalizing Leadership Information
  1143. To ensure I have the most accurate and up-to-date information, I will now focus on confirming the current Regional Directors for the South and Midwest regions. I also want to clarify the status of the 'Northwestern' region mentioned in one of my findings and see if there are any other key leadership roles at the headquarters level that I haven't yet identified.

  1262. Headquarters Leadership Found
  1263. I've successfully identified the leadership at the Community Relations Service headquarters. Justin Lock is the Director, and Gerri L. Ratliff was the Acting Deputy Director as of August 2021.
  1264. Regional Directors Identified
  1265. I've also gathered information on the Regional Directors for all five regions. Charles Phillips leads the Atlantic North Region, Synthia Taylor is the director for the South Region (formerly referred to as Southwestern), Meg Gorecki heads the Midwest Region, Vincent Plair is responsible for the West Region, and Rosa Salamanca is the director for the Mountain Central Region.
  1266. Clarifying Regional Responsibilities
  1267. I've clarified that the 'Northwestern Region' is under the purview of Vincent Plair, along with the West and Mountain Central regions. The 'Southwestern Region' appears to be a previous term for the current 'South Region'. With this information, I believe I have a comprehensive overview of the leadership structure for the Community Relations Service.
