Congratulations to Jerry Connolly, Chief of Police at Florida SouthWestern State College, for being named one of this year’s higher education and healthcare Campus Safety Director of the Year finalists.
Some of his notable achievements include:
- Secured additional officer benefits, including holiday pay and shift differentials, as well as FSWPD vehicles for sworn officers.
- Led multiple tabletop exercises with larger areas of the college, including Academic, Student Services, and Operations.
- Saved FSW approximately $450,000 by eliminating a third-party security services contractor and reallocating the funds to hiring additional department employees, which enhanced the department’s capabilities.
Winners of this year’s Director of the Year awards will be announced at this summer’s 2024 Campus Safety Conference, taking place in Atlanta, Georgia, July 8-10. For more information and to register, visit CampusSafetyConference.com.
