Sheriff Chad Chronister was named by President Donald Trump as the next administrator of the Drug Enforcement Agency.
Sheriff Chad Chronister has served the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office for 32 years, and received countless commendations and awards for keeping his community safe, Trump said. He is a graduate of the FBI National Academy and is co-chairman of the Regional Domestic Security Task Force for Region IV Tampa Bay, is a member of the Florida Attorney General’s Statewide Council on Human Trafficking.
“As DEA Administrator, Chad will work with our great Attorney General, Pam Bondi, to secure the Border, stop the flow of Fentanyl, and other Illegal Drugs, across the Southern Border, and SAVE LIVES,” Trump said in a statement.
The current administrator is Anne Milgram, the former attorney general of New Jersey. The administrator must be confirmed by the US Senate.
