Brown University police chief placed on leave after fatal shooting, feds launch investigation
"Questions surrounding Brown's security policies have only intensified since the Dec. 13 shooting that rocked the Providence community and led to a lengthy search for the killer. Much of the focus has centered on whether the Ivy League school had security cameras installed in the building where the attack took place in and the overall ease of accessing campus buildings."
"University President Christina Paxson said Rodney Chatman will be replaced by Hugh T. Clements, former police chief of the Providence Police Department. Chatman had previously faced a vote of no confidence by the union representing school police officers in October. Local media outlets reported at the time that the union said the vote reflected "serious concerns over the failed leadership, contract violations, and policies that jeopardize public safety.""
Brown University placed its campus police chief, Rodney Chatman, on leave while reviewing campus security policies after a Dec. 13 shooting that killed two students and injured nine. Questions have focused on whether security cameras were installed in the building where the attack occurred and on how easily campus buildings can be accessed. Christina Paxson said Chatman will be replaced by Hugh T. Clements, former Providence police chief. Chatman previously faced a union vote of no confidence citing leadership and policy concerns. The U.S. Department of Education opened an inquiry requesting security reports, audits, dispatch and call logs, and emergency notification records.
