Attorney General Patrick C. Lynch today issued the following statement on the retirement of Rhode Island State Police Lieutenant Colonel Steven G. O’Donnell:

“All of us in Rhode Island can be grateful for the outstanding service of Lieutenant Colonel Steve O’Donnell throughout his distinguished 23-year career with our Rhode Island State Police. As a young prosecutor, I had the great opportunity to learn from him when he, too, was coming up through the ranks, and I feel privileged to call him a friend. Lieutenant Colonel O’Donnell’s accomplishments in law enforcement are many and storied, and his high level of service to us will always be celebrated. I know he will continue to forge a path of integrity as the next United States Marshal for the District of Rhode Island, and I acknowledge President Obama for his wisdom in appointing him to serve in this important capacity.”
