PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) – The U.S. Senate confirmed on Friday that the former Glocester police chief Jamie Hainsworth is going to be the next U.S. Marshal for Rhode Island.
A U.S. Marshal oversees federal courthouse security, witness protection, the apprehension of federal fugitives and the transport of federal prisoners.
Chief Hainsworth has over 30 years of law enforcement experience and was elected President of the Rhode Island Police Chiefs’ Association by his peers.
Hainsworth was nominated by President Obama in February and approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this month.
