IU Police Academy graduate Jill Lees appointed as chief of IU Police Department-Bloomington
| Jill Lees, deputy chief of support at the Plainfield Police Department, has been appointed as the ninth chief of police of the Indiana University Police Department-Bloomington, IU Bloomington Provost and Executive Vice President Lauren Robel and Associate Vice President for Public Safety and Institutional Assurance Benjamin Hunter have announced. |
| Lees is a graduate of the Indiana University PoliceAcademy. When she assumes her new role at IUPD-Bloomington on March 4, she will lead a department with 45 full-time sworn officers who protect IU’s flagship campus — which has a daytime population of almost 53,000 — 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
“Chief Lees has an impressive record working with individuals to advance community-oriented policing in Plainfield,” Hunter said. “Our students, staff and faculty on the Bloomington campus will benefit from her commitment to transparency, open-dialogue and clear communication. Her experience and forward-thinking leadership skills make her an outstanding fit for this important position.” Lees succeeds Chief Laury Flint, who is taking on universitywide IUPD responsibilities involving community engagement and risk assessment, a critical component of campus safety. Lees graduated from the IU Police Academy in 1994 and began her career at the Plainfield PoliceDepartment just a week after graduating from IU. Throughout her years in Plainfield, she worked in almost every area of the department, most recently as deputy chief of support, which includes the support services and criminal investigations branches. She has been deeply involved in her own leadership development as well as accreditation efforts at the department and at other police departments, where she conducted assessments for the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. “I am humbled and honored to have been selected as the police chief of IUPD’s Bloomington division,” Lees said. “I started my law enforcement career here as a cadet officer and am so excited to be able to come back to serve where I began. My years in law enforcement have helped prepare me for the next chapter, and I am looking forward to this amazing opportunity.” IUPD-Bloomington is one of seven divisions of the IU Police Department, which is part of the Office of Public Safety and Institutional Assurance. Lees will join a leadership team comprising the seven chiefs throughout the university and ensuring a progressive and community-oriented approach to campus law enforcement. |

Other candidates in the May Primary will be:
Clerk-Treasurer – Sally Hattabaugh (R) – Incumbent. No Democrat filed to challenge her.
City Council, At-Large – Janine Lee and Jody Smedley, will face each other for the Republican nomination. Democrats RH Bennett and Mark W. Hobson, incumbent, will vie to the party nomination.

Pedestrian Struck and Killed on I-65 Near Seymour
Yesterday evening, February 7, 2019 at approximately 10:00 pm, the Indiana State Police responded to I-65 Northbound near the 43 mile marker to investigate a fatal crash involving a pedestrian being struck by a vehicle.
The initial investigation by Trooper Jacob Tolle, Indiana State Police-Versailles Crash Reconstruction Team, indicated a red 2005 Chevrolet Silverado being driven by David A. Buchanan, age 55, Stanwood, Michigan was traveling northbound on I-65. For an unknown reason, Buchanan’s vehicle left the roadway and entered the median where it became stuck. Buchanan left the vehicle and walked northbound on I-65.
Buchanan entered into the northbound lanes of I-65 where he was then struck by a white 2018 Jeep being driven by Franklin N. Reed, age 23, Nashville, Tennessee. As a result of the collision, Buchanan sustained fatal injuries. He was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Jackson County Coroner’s Office. Reed was not injured in the collision.
The northbound lanes of I-65 were closed for approximately four hours for crash investigation and cleanup. Jackson County Animal Control responded to the scene and took possession of a dog that was left in Buchanan’s vehicle.
Toxicology results are pending on both Buchanan and Reed at this time.
The investigation is ongoing.
David Buchanan’s family has been notified.
The Indiana State Police was assisted by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department, Crothersville Police Department, Jackson County EMS, Vernon Township Fire Department, and Jackson County Coroner’s Office.
