As recently highlighted by The Lantern, The Ohio State University Police Division (OSUPD) has named Dennis Jeffrey chief of police, effective November 1.
As an Ohio State alum, Jeffrey said his connection to the university has given him a thorough understanding of how safety impacts student's lives on and off campus.
"I think it gives me a unique perspective because as not only a [former] student myself, but as a parent, I do understand when parents have some concerns, and I don't want them to feel like I don't understand that," said Jeffrey. "So, that's really what I want to impart. I have that perspective, and I kind of understand it."
