WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden says a former police chief in Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce will be nominated by President Obama today as drug czar.
Seattle police chief Gil Kerlikowske (kuhr-lih-KOW-skee) will bring to the job a lifetime of experience working on drug policy, Biden said.
Kerlikowske is a 36-year law enforcement veteran and has been Seattle’s top cop for nearly nine years. He’s been credited with cutting crime rates to record lows.
