Fox News

Kelly was the first person to serve two terms at the helm of the New York Police Department, taking on the role for the second time just months after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. He is also a United States Marine Corps veteran and served as commissioner of the U.S. Customs Service, which has since been separated into Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
