AG-elect taps Lavin for top MHP post
Major Steve Lavin, of Kalispell, will lead the Montana Highway Patrol under the next Department of Justice administration, Attorney General-elect Austin Knudsen said Wednesday.
“Steve has the vision, experience and leadership ability we need to tackle the difficult challenges we face,” Knudsen, a Republican, said in a statement. “His integrity and steadfast devotion to duty will serve Montana well.”
Lavin will succeed MHP Colonel Tom Butler, who was tapped for the job in 2013 by current Attorney General Tim Fox.
