As recently highlighted by NBC4, The Ohio State University Police Division (OSUPD) Chief Kimberly Spears-McNatt is retiring after 30 years of service. Spears-McNatt graduated from Ohio State in 1993 and started working for OSUPD in 1994.
"I literally have grown up on this campus," said Spears-McNatt. "My 20's, 30's, 40's, now 50's, it's bittersweet, a lot of memories. I'm a Buckeye, I'll be a Buckeye for life, but it's just a lot of great memories."
Monica Moll, associate vice president of the Department of Public Safety will serve as interim chief until a new one is hired.
"My number one goal is to get a police chief that's as good as Kimberly Spears-McNatt," said Moll. "That might be hard to do, but I want to get a police chief of OSUPD that understands the community like she did, cares about what their concerns are, has an open door for community concerns, is transparent, ethical and a hard worker."
