UNITED PROBATION OFFICERS ASSOCIATION
On Wednesday, October 15th we lost one of the good guys. Jeph Oyeku who was a mentor to many, a brother and friend. Jeph went home to glory doing what he does best working. He was in a Branch Chief training at the time. For 38 years Jeph dedicated his life to The Department of Probation and to the United Probation Officers Association. To learn more click here. We will miss him.
