Mayor’s office nominates Matthew Mulligan to Wyatt Detention Board; council confirms
Summary
The Central Falls City Council voted unanimously to confirm Matthew Mulligan to the Wyatt Detention Board after the mayor’s office presented his background in policing and accreditation work.
The Central Falls City Council confirmed Matthew Mulligan to the Wyatt Detention Board after the mayor’s office introduced him and he answered council questions.
The nomination was presented “on behalf of the mayor” by a mayor’s office representative, who said Mulligan met the administration’s criteria of having public-safety experience and being a resident not currently employed by the city police department. Mulligan told the council he spent the last 10 years with the Providence Police Department and helped the department achieve national accreditation. “I want to use those expertise and my knowledge to bring community oversight to the facility,” Mulligan said.
Council members voiced support before a vote. A roll-call motion to appoint Mulligan was recorded as passing unanimously, with six members voting in favor.
Mulligan said he looks forward to serving as a community member on the board and to bringing oversight and questions from residents back to the council and mayor’s office. The council made no additional conditions or amendments to the appointment on the record.
The council did not state a term length on the public record during the remarks captured in the transcript.
