Michael G. Sullivan, who last was interim chief of the Phoenix Police Department, has been tapped to lead the U.S. Capitol Police, the department announced Wednesday.
Sullivan will succeed J. Thomas Manger, who served nearly four years in the role before retiring last week. He brings more than 30 years of law enforcement experience, according to a statement from Capitol Police. He’ll be sworn in June 30.
“The [Capitol Police] Board is confident in Chief Sullivan’s experience, leadership, and approach in protecting the Congress as an institution to ensure the legislative process is unimpeded,” the statement said.
