STATEMENTS OF MAYOR BLOOMBERG, POLICE COMMISSIONER KELLY AND SENATOR SCHUMER ON PRESIDENT OBAMA'S NOMINATION OF THE NYPD'S CHARLES DUNNE TO BE THE NEXT US MARSHAL FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

Statement of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg:

“New York City boasts tens of thousands of the very best law enforcement officials anywhere in the world, but President Obama couldn’t have made a better choice for United States Marshal for the Eastern District of New York than New York Police Department Inspector Charles G. Dunne, who has been the Commanding Officer of the Intelligence Division’s Municipal Security Section since I came into office. As the head of my security detail, I have seen Charlie’s impeccable judgment at work every day and I rely on his exceptional skills, intelligence and professionalism. When confirmed by the Senate, Inspector Dunne will join Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan, Centers for Disease Control Director Dr. Thomas Frieden, and the others who have left New York City government to serve in President Obama’s Administration. I want to thank Senator Schumer for his strong support of this nomination.  The nearly eight million New Yorkers who live in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Nassau and Suffolk counties are lucky to have this phenomenally able career law enforcement professional help protect them as the U.S. Marshal for the Eastern District.  Commissioner Kelly and I look forward to continuing to work with Inspector Dunne in his new role.”

Statement of Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly:

“President Obama’s nomination of NYPD Inspector Charles G. Dunne to be the United States Marshal for the Eastern District of New York recognizes an accomplished, experienced professional, and is a tribute to him and the Department he has served so well for the last two decades. Inspector Dunne has had a distinguished career with the New York City Police Department beginning in 1990 as a police officer on patrol in Manhattan and culminating as Commanding Officer of the Intelligence Division’s Municipal Security Section. It’s good to know that he will continue to serve New York as US Marshal in one of the nation’s most important jurisdictions.”

Statement of Senator Charles E. Schumer:

“Inspector Charles Dunne’s tremendous experience, steadfast dedication to the professional administration of justice, and deep knowledge of the communities where he serves make him an ideal US Marshal for the Eastern District of New York. Charlie is a true blue New Yorker who was born and raised on Long Island, went to school here and coaches youth lacrosse. Inspector Dunne has shown himself to be an outstanding law enforcement professional and his deep rooted connections to the Eastern District made him a clear choice for this position.”
