Brown University Names Familiar Face As Police Chief

Brown University's police chief is leaving.

Rodney Chatman's departure is part of a settlement reached with the university.

He has been on administrative leave since a mass shooting in a campus building last December 13th, that killed two students and wounded nine others.

Former Providence Chief Hugh Clements has been the interim chief at Brown since late December.

“As we continue to navigate toward a stronger, more resilient and sophisticated campus safety infrastructure, it’s essential that we simultaneously ensure that Brown is still Brown, a teaching and learning community devoted to being a place where all can thrive,” they wrote. “Chief Clements is well positioned to serve as a critical leadership voice as we work collectively to determine what it means to be a campus that effectively balances robust security measures with sustaining a welcoming community.”

Clements was named full time Chief Wednesday.
