The University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) named Thomas Leone as chief of its police department on Sept. 21. He is no stranger to UMB, having served with the department since 2016, and had been interim chief since the departure of Alice Cary in summer 2020.
On this week's episode, we sit down with Leone and UMBPD Public Information Officer Carin Morrell to talk about all the great things UMBPD does for the University and the West Baltimore community.
They dive deep into how Chief Leone got his start as a police officer (7:54), how UMBPD engages the community (17:00), how you can use UMBPD to stay safe on campus (22:59), how Officer Lexi, the University's first comfort dog, became a member of the department (28:13), and much more!
