For Immediate Release:

    Raleigh, NC     Yesterday, Governor Pat McCrory accepted the resignation of Kieran Shanahan, the Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Public Safety, effective July 31. Secretary Shanahan is resigning to concentrate on his law firm, other business obligations and to support his wife in her new capacity as Admiral in the U.S. Navy.

    "The department is stronger now than when Kieran started and we appreciate his service," said Governor McCrory. "I will continue to value Kieran's friendship. He has been an important part of the team. I clearly understand his decision and appreciate the priorities he needs to focus on. I would also like to congratulate Tina Shanahan on her recent promotion to Admiral in the U.S. Navy. The U.S. Navy's gain is North Carolina's loss. It is a well-deserved promotion and I congratulate her and wish the Shanahan family well."

    "I have been honored to serve the governor and this great state and to have been a part of a great cabinet team," said Shanahan. "I am leaving the department stronger than when I took over in January. I am particularly proud of our efforts to start The Center for Safer Schools. And I am also very proud of Tina. She has always strongly supported my career, most recently being very tolerant of the long hours that come with managing DPS, and now it is my turn to support her. I'm so proud to know there is an Admiral in the family."

    DPS will be managed by the executive team of Deputy Secretaries until the new secretary is named.
