EIU Faculty and Staff,
I’m pleased to announce that Lt. John Hatfill has been appointed as the interim chief of police for the EIU Police Department. He is a 27-year veteran of that department and has experience in a wide variety of duties and responsibilities. He will serve until June 30, 2016, or until the position is permanently filled.
He replaces Adam Due, who retired on Dec. 31, 2015, after 12-plus years in the position.
Lt. Hatfill brings a depth of knowledge and experience to the interim chief position that will benefit EIU and our community partners.
In appreciation of his service to EIU,
Lynette Drake
