ONU public safety chief a visual guy on campus
By Monty Siekerman
Greg Horne, former chief of police for the City of Findlay, began his duties as director of the ONU department of public safety in January.
He was with the Findlay department for 32 years, the last 8 as chief. Since heading ONU security, he has instituted several changes and plans more.
For example:
1. Changing the name from security to public safety, which has a less aggressive tone.
2. Train his staff to be first responders, more able to assist people before an ambulance arrives.
3. Hold talks with campus groups about fire and personal safety.
4. Work as a team with the residence life staff.
Greg, with wide experience in Findlay who headed a department with 100 officers and support staff, graduated from BGSU and the School of Staff and Command at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. He has completed several police academy programs, as well.
He and his wife Cheryl are the parents of three children: Jeremy, 29; Leah, 26; and Zoe, 15.
