Inos appoints Clyde Norita as first Department of Fire and EMS chief
Norita
Gov. Eloy S. Inos has appointed former lawmaker and retired police official Clyde K. Norita as commissioner of the newly created Department of Fire and Emergency Medical Services.
In his memorandum on Monday, Inos informed all department and activity heads about his appointment of Norita.
The appointment requires Senate confirmation.
The governor said that until the Senate takes action, Norita is designated acting commissioner.
“Please extend your cooperation to commissioner-designate Clyde Norita as he assumes his new duties and responsibilities,” Inos told department heads.
Norita rose from the ranks as a career law enforcer, starting from police officer 1 to the rank of police major.
The administration of former governor Benigno R. Fitial appointed Norita as executive director of the Criminal Justice Planning Agency and special assistant to the Department of Public Safety before his appointment to the Commonwealth Ports Authority as executive director.
He was also elected to the 14th CNMI House of Representatives. He lost his senatorial bid in the November 2005 general elections.
In 2008, the Fitial administration appointed him DPS commissioner.
Get those grants Clyde…
he was appointed as commissioner of what??? department of corruption???
A ‘leader’ is supposed to lead by example, due to Clyde’s physical
condition he becomes a liability. Also just what kind, if any, type of
firefighting training has he had in the past? What type of training in
any related area has he ever had? More political hires with no
comprehension or physical aptitude to perform a job requirement. The
inability and short comings of this Dept. director can put life and
property in grave danger.
But then as has been shown in the past, it is all about name and political affiliations within our Govt.
Would seem there is enough of the guy where he can be the second Chief as well! Lose some weight! You lead professionals who must be shape! Lead by example
