Yesterday was an historic day in Massachusetts, as Governor Patrick promoted Lt. Col. Marian J. McGovern to serve as superintendent of the state police.
I am proud to know Marian McGovern as someone who is universally respected by her colleagues in law enforcement.
She worked hard and earned her way to the top while at the same time never forgetting her roots.
I recently saw Marian and expressed my hope for this opportunity. I know she will proudly lead our state police and will help to champion issues that will make our communities, families and children safe. Leading the fight to implement an amber alert system in our state is just one example of Marian’s follow through and determination.
Marian McGovern is a woman to be celebrated and supported in her efforts, and I wish her the best of luck as superintendent of the state police.
