IU declares new chief of police

IU announced in a news release that Keith Cash is the new chief of police for the IU Police Department. Cash has been interim chief since July 1.

“Keith’s demeanor makes him the absolute right person for this particular job on a university campus, and his experience here makes him especially perfect for the IU-Bloomington campus,” Jerry Minger, IU’s director for public safety, said in the release.

Cash began serving with IUPD in 1984 as a patrol officer and was appointed captain in 2001.

He has bachelor’s and master’s degrees in criminal justice from IU and is an instructor for the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy. He also graduated from the FBI National Academy in 2004, according to the release.
