University employees discuss qualities of new Chief of Police
BY CHRIS NEAL

to be. Oliver and The new Lawrence police chief should be announced by the end of the month.
"The ongoing, day to-day, operations between the two departments themselves aren't as integrated as we would like them to be." Oliver said.
Marlesa Roney, the vice provost for student success, believes the new chief should take a different approach to policing in Lawrence by teaching the college students what it means to be a member of the community.
University officials, along with the KU Public Safety Office, are calling for forward thinking, a partnership and cooperation from a new Lawrence police chief.
Ralph Oliver, chief of police for the KU Public Safety Office, thinks few improvements should be made when the new chief comes in, but there is no need to change anything specific.
Edited by Tali David
"You don't really think about alcohol being the most harmful drug when there are things out there like heroin, crack cocaine and meth." Donham said. "We know it's an issue in our community and clearly there needs to be some prevention, or at least a greater focus on resources that are available to help people."
"I think the police chief can enable a commitment to helping people learn and grow," Roney said. "Not only does the University have a role to help educate students, but the community does too."
Jenny Donham, health educator at Watkins Memorial Health Center, wants the new chief to change the approach to alcohol. Donham says The Lancet, a journal in Europe, published an article last year saying that alcohol was the most harmful drug.
Instead of looking at specific
qualities in the candidates, the KU Public Safety Office is looking into the law enforcement aspect of the new chief.
