Trump Nominates Manchester Police Chief As Next U.S. Marshal

President Trump nominated Manchester Police Chief Enoch "Nick" Willard as the state's next U.S. Marshal on Thursday.

MANCHESTER — President Trump nominated Manchester Police Chief Enoch “Nick” Willard as the state's next U.S. Marshal on Thursday. According to the Union Leader, Willard’s nomination was part of a seventh wave of Trump nominations for marshal.

“I’m very humbled and very honored that the President of the United States has the faith in me to take over this important law enforcement position in New Hampshire,” Willard said in an interview, in which said he was constrained in how much he could say given the pending nomination process.

Willard had praise for two New Hampshire marshals — Obama appointee David L. Cargill Jr., who began serving in 2009, and Bush-era appointee Stephen Monier, who served from 2002 to 2009. Cargill’s deputy marshals worked with Manchester police to apprehend Matthew Dion in Florida, ending a 15-month manhunt following the 2014 murder of his parents in Manchester.
