U.S. Marshal, Eastern District of North Carolina


United States Marshal Clyde R. Cook	Clyde R. Cook, Jr. was appointed U.S. Marshal for the Eastern District of North Carolina by President George W. Bush on June 30, 2008. He grew up the son of a police chief in Jacksonville, NC, and earned a BA Degree in Political Science from the University of NC in Chapel Hill, NC. During the Vietnam era, he served in the U.S. Army in Southeast Asia for several years, and was awarded an Army Commendation Medal for outstanding performance as a Military Police Sergeant and Provost Marshal Investigator. During his subsequent state government career, he held highly responsible law enforcement, law-enforcement-related and security-related positions in all three branches of NC government—executive, legislative and judicial. That experience included service as an Alcohol Law Enforcement (ALE) Officer, Supervisor of an ALE Special Investigations Unit, DMV Law Enforcement Officer, Assistant Director of DMV’s Vehicle Registration Section, Administrative Aide to the NC Secretary of Transportation, Assistant Director of DMV Enforcement, Assistant Commissioner of DMV, Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms for the NC Senate; Sergeant-at-Arms for the NC House of Representatives; and until 2005, Marshal of the NC Supreme Court. NC Governor James G. Martin awarded Cook the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, the highest honor a governor can bestow on a North Carolina Citizen, in appreciation for outstanding state government service rendered from 1985 through 1992. In addition, for a number of years in between some of those challenging state government jobs, Cook was self-employed as a licensed private investigator.
