How long have you been with OSUPD?
3 years at The Ohio State University Mansfield Regional Campus.
Where are you from and how does that help shape who you are today?
Safety is the university’s top priority and Facilities Operations and Development (FOD), CampusParc, Transportation and Traffic Management (TTM) and the Department of Public Safety work together to offer services during the winter months to keep you safe. As snow and ice start to collect, FOD teams are dispatched to treat campus roadways and sidewalks.
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.
