Bernard Kerik (born 1955) was a high-level law enforcement officer and close associate of [[Rudy Giuliani]].  When Giuliani was mayor of New York City, he appointed Kerik as the New York City police commissioner, and in late 2001 Giuliani even named the Manhattan Detention Complex after Kerik.  In December 2004, Giuliani apparently persuaded President [[George W. Bush]] to nominate Kerik as Secretary of Homeland Security.<ref>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6697161/site/newsweek/</ref>
