Congratulations Bro. Remo. ♦️👌🏾

Kent County is proud to spotlight Mike Remo, our new Assistant Superintendent of the Juvenile Detention Center! 👏

With more than 30 years of experience in youth services and public service, Mike’s career has come full circle - starting as a Group Worker at our Juvenile Detention Center in 1993, then gaining leadership experience with organizations like ICCF, the YMCA, and the Boys & Girls Club, before returning to the County in 2013. Since then, he has served as a Juvenile Probation Officer, was promoted to Supervisor, and now steps into his newest role as Assistant Superintendent.

We are so appreciative of how Mike helps oversee daily operations, support staff, and ensure the safety and well-being of residents while coordinating programs that make a lasting impact. He says the most rewarding part of his work is “being surrounded by colleagues who are truly committed to making a difference in the lives of young people.” 😀

When he’s not at work, Mike enjoys “glamping” and cheering on his alma mater, Grand Valley State University.

Congratulations, Mike - we’re grateful for your leadership and continued commitment to our community!
