They're Back: Dean Again Fields its Own PD

Have you noticed a return of Dean Police vehicles to the downtown area?  Indeed, according to Dean's head of marketing Jennifer Kelly,  until the  Summer of 2023, "we had an outsourced security group that made up to 90% of our department."

"We got rid of the outsourced team and made the team a fully internal team," she explained. "We have a fully internal team vs. a combination of internal and external. We did this to expand the education we do with students, to ensure continuity, and to make sure our students can build relationships with the police officers," she continued.

In conjunction with that, the department name was changed to Campus Police and Safety. Hence the cars now visible around town

The team works closely with the Franklin Police and are in regular communication, she added.
