Chief Judge DiFiore appoints Michael Magliano as new safety chief of New York State
Chief Judge Janet DiFiore was at the Kings County Supreme Court to officially swear in Michael Magliano as the new chief of public safety for the New York State Unified Court System during a ceremony in Downtown Brooklyn on Friday.
“Mike is one of the most decent, compassionate and hardworking people I’ve ever met,” said Chief Joseph Baccellieri Jr., who served as the master of ceremonies for the event. “We all know that he has an effusive and contagious sense of humor [and] is a most competent leader and role model who exudes the qualities we look for in our job. Everyone should have the good fortune of having a Mike Magliano as a friend, brother and colleague.”
