Carl R. Peed
Carl Ray Peed (1947 - ) was the Sheriff of Fairfax County from 1990 to 1999, when he was defeated by Stan Barry.
He was the last sheriff in the dynasty that began with sheriff James D. Swinson, his father-in-law, and continued through M. Wayne Huggins.
Peed grew up in Hamlet, North Carolina, where his father was a sheriff's deputy. After graduating college with a bachelors degree in biology in 1969 and serving in the military for 2 years, Peed was hired as a corporal in 1974 by his father-in-law, Sheriff James D. Swinson.[1]
Upon his election as sheriff in 1979, M. Wayne Huggins appointed Peed his chief deputy. Peed himself took over as sheriff when Huggins left to become director of the National Institute of Corrections.[2] Peed was appointed to the position by the Circuit Court on March 7, 1990, and was elected to serve the remainder of Huggins' unexpired term in the November 6 special election.[3]
After his defeat by Stan G. Barry in 1999, Peed was appointed as Director of the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice, taking over the Department on January 4, 2000.[4]
Peed was appointed the Director of the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services by U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft on September 4, 2001.[5] He retired from that position in January, 2009.
Peed is currently the President of CP2 Incorporated.
