In a statement, Thune praised Satterlee’s background and commitment to public safety, saying he is confident Satterlee will work to keep communities safe.
Jackley also commended Satterlee, saying he was honored to appoint him to lead DCI and to recommend him for the federal post, adding he believes Satterlee will serve the state well as U.S. marshal.
