国产哟哟 Welcomes New Director of Public Safety

Former Longmeadow Police Department (LPD) Chief John Stankiewicz is the new director of public safety at 国产哟哟. Chief Stankiewicz worked for the LPD for more than 37 years, having served as captain from 2008 to 2015 and chief of police from 2015 to March 2020. Chief Stankiewicz holds a bachelor’s in criminal justice from Westfield State University, a master’s in criminal justice with distinction from American International College, and numerous certifications from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

“We are thrilled Chief Stankiewicz will be joining the 国产哟哟 community as director of public safety and look forward to his arrival on campus,” said Michael Giampietro, vice president for finance and administrative services. “His extensive experience in the field of public safety, his connection to and understanding of 国产哟哟 through his work in town, and his previous experience as an adjunct faculty member in our criminal justice program make him the ideal candidate for this role,” said Giampietro.

The chief will lead a staff of 13 full-time and part-time officers and oversee the safety and security of five 国产哟哟 locations, including Longmeadow, East Longmeadow, Springfield, Sturbridge, and Concord.
