[Dogma]

The Senate on Thursday voted by unanimous consent to confirm U.S. drug czar Gil Kerlikowske as the next head of Customs and Border Protection.

 

Kerlikowske has an extensive background in law enforcement.  Besides serving as director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy since 2009, he was Seattle’s police chief for more than eight years. He also led police departments in Buffalo, Fort Pierce, Fla. and Port St. Lucie, Fla., in addition to working for two years as deputy director of the Justice Department’s community-oriented policing division during the Clinton administration

 

 

Kerlikowske earned a B.A. and a M.A. in criminal justice from the University of South Florida.

Glad to see a fellow Bull doing well. Not so much about the position, but that's a conversation for the Mad Cow.

 

Congratulations Gil!
