Governor Carney Nominates Terra Taylor as DOC Commissioner
Governor John Carney has announced that he intends to nominate Terra Taylor to serve as Commissioner of the Delaware Department of Correction (DOC). Taylor’s nomination must be approved by the Delaware State Senate. Governor Carney says Terra’s years of experience within the Department of Correction— starting from her time as a Probation Officer to Chief of Community Corrections to Deputy Commissioner to Acting Commissioner—make her a strong leader for DOC. Governor Carney thanks Terra for stepping into this role, and he is confident she will continue the important work underway at DOC. The governor looks forward to the Delaware Senate considering her nomination.

Taylor has served as Acting Commissioner since July 2023 and was previously the Deputy Commissioner of DOC.
