Murray State University has appointed a new Chief of Police and Director of Public Safety and Emergency Management. Jamie Herring takes the position after a national search.
Herring served for more than 30 years at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, most recently as the university’s Chief of Police. Herring has a Bachelor's of Arts and a Master of Public Affairs from UNCG.
In a press release, Herring says, "In my professional career, I’ve always pushed to achieve more and to be excellent in what I do... I sense the same philosophy at Murray State. I’m excited to see what goals we can achieve as both a police department and as a University.”
He replaces Roy Dunaway, who has served as interim chief of police and director.
Herring starts July 5.
