President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday picked sheriff Chad Chronister to head up the office of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).
The announcement was made shortly before another major law enforcement nomination was put forth, that of Kash Patel to head up the FBI.
“I am pleased to nominate Sheriff Chad Chronister as Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA),” Trump wrote in his announcement.
“For over 32 years, Sheriff Chad Chronister has served the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, and received countless commendations and awards for keeping his community SAFE.”
Trump continued on, citing Chronister’s background, current positions held and other qualifications for the job: “A proud graduate of the FBI National Academy’s 260th Session, Chad is Co-Chairman of the Regional Domestic Security Task Force for Region IV Tampa Bay, Council Member of the Florida Attorney General’s Statewide Council on Human Trafficking, Chairman of the Criminal Justice Sub-Committee, Vice-Chairman of the Hillsborough County Public Safety Coordinating Council, and Vice-Chairman of the Hillsborough County Public Schools Citizen Oversight Committee.”
