I began my career as a Police Officer in 2008. In 2012, I graduated from Clark with a master’s degree in public administration and was promoted to Sergeant later that year. In 2020, I was appointed Chief of Police. There are many things I love about working here, but my favorite is the pure excitement I feel for welcoming first-generation college students.

Administrative Lieutenant

Email: klaplante@clarku.edu
Phone: 1-508-793-7575

I have been at Clark since 2012, hired initially as a per diem officer. In 2013, I was hired full time and more recently was promoted to Sergeant in 2020. My favorite thing about working for Clark University is having the opportunity to be a part of the students’ 4+ years on campus. I enjoy seeing how much they grow from their first day on campus and come into their own as they cross the stage on commencement day.

After a 30 year career with the Worcester Police Department (Sergeant retired). I am honored to begin my career with the Clark University Police Department. I started as a police officer here in February, of 2024. I instantly recognized what a great department I had joined. They immediately welcomed me aboard and made me feel like a part of their family. I look forward to the second journey of my law enforcement career at Clark University.

After serving the City of Worcester’s Police Department for 32 years, I find myself at one of the best campus police departments in the country. Safety, community, and respect is at the core of CUPD. It is so rewarding to work with the students, faculty, and staff here at Clark. Together, anything is possible.
