Mayor Ruais nominates Asst. Chief Marr to replace Chief Aldenberg
21-year veteran has led at every level at MPD; received multiple service medals
MANCHESTER, NH – Mayor Jay Ruais announced today he is nominating Assistant Chief Peter Marr to replace outgoing Chief Allen Aldenberg to lead the Manchester Police Department.
Explaining his decision to tap Marr, Ruais said, “Over the past year, I have had the privilege of working with AC Marr. I have always found him to be an outstanding, approachable and thoughtful professional. In our conversations, he understands the seriousness of the position of chief and the dedication necessary to lead the state’s largest municipal police force. As a 21-year veteran of the force, AC Marr is uniquely aware of the challenges our city faces. He also has valuable insights into the over 300 officers he will lead if given the opportunity.”
The mayor also noted the depth of Marr’s experience saying, “Over the past two decades, AC Marr has distinguished himself as a leader at all levels, including as a Detective in Major Crimes, Sergeant in Patrol, Assistant SWAT Team Leader, Lieutenant and Shift Commander in Patrol and Captain. Peter has also been honored as Officer of the Year and is the recipient of the Life Saving, Honorable Service, and Meritorious Service Medals.”
“I believe AC Marr’s leadership skills, knowledge of tactical operations and investigations, crisis management experience, and personnel management give him a solid foundation to continue to be successful at the next level. It is my honor to nominate him to be Manchester’s next Police Chief. I have every confidence he will hold himself and his officers to the highest standards, always staying true to every police officer’s sworn duty to protect and serve,” said Ruais.
