A White House press release gave this biography of the nominee:
Peter Munoz is the Director of the Michigan Department of State Police, a position he has held since 2006. He previously served as the Deputy Director of the Field Service’s Bureau from 2003 to 2006. He joined the State Police as a Trooper in 1978, rising through the ranks to his current position. Mr. Munoz earned a Bachelor of Science degree in criminal justice from the University of Detroit in 1978.
In the press release, Obama had this to say about the five nominations he announced, including Munoz:
“These nominees have dedicated their careers to protecting their fellow Americans, and in so doing they have displayed exceptional selflessness and courage,” President Obama said. “I am confident that they will serve the American people with integrity and I am honored to nominate them today to continue their work as U.S. Marshals.”
The nominees will now have to be vetted and approved by the U.S. Senate.
