I look forward to continuing to serve the campus and the City of Gary, as well as collaborating with local agencies to provide a safe and secure learning environment. My fellow officers and I remain committed to making IU Northwest the safest campus in Indiana.

“An active shooter or hostile intruder is one of the many hazards you are likely to face in your lifetime (including fire, tornado, etc.), so if you don’t know what to do, then you should learn. Once you learn it, you can remember it in the same manner as ‘Stop, Drop, and Roll.’ We don’t teach ‘Stop, Drop, and Roll’ because you’re likely to catch on fire at some point in your life. We teach it because on the off chance that you do, it could save your life. Same with “Run. Hide. Fight.”

-- John Summerlot, emergency management coordinator at IU Bloomington

It’s a wrap! Graphic design interns Cheryl Wellum and Tiffany Ignalaga designed this truck wrap for Indiana University Environmental Health and Safety.  It almost looks like camo.

Four amazing IUPD officers at IUPUI

Here are just a few of the heroic individuals who help keep our campus safe: 

1.  Sgt. Thomas Remender

Sergeant Remender has been in law enforcement for 26 years, serving as an IUPD officer for eight years. 

He became a police officer because of his love for helping people.

“I’m a very people-oriented person,” Remender said. 

“Somehow we’ve gotten away from really appreciating our police because they are seen as ‘bad apples’, but there are bad apples in every industry. When you actually pull the facts, you’ll see that police officers have a better ethical rate than clergy do and that’s pretty interesting.” 

Favorite TV show: Monday Night Football 

Favorite restaurant: Bravo’s

2.  Officer Eric Lyons

Officer Lyons has been with IUPD for 20 years.

As a kid, Officer Lyons credits the ‘Officer Friendly’ program at his school for helping him choose law enforcement as his occupation. He also became a police officer because he wanted to help people. 

“I was brought up [knowing you should always] go out of your way to help people when you can,” Lyons said.

Being a police officer is “to take care of the people who can’t take care of themselves and to protect the folks that need defending.”

Favorite TV shows: The Big Bang Theory, Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead

Favorite restaurant: Texas Roadhouse

3.  Officer Todd Hill

Officer Hill has been with IUPD for six years.

Hill became an officer not only because he wanted to help people, but also because he wanted to switch his career in sales to one in public service. 

“Being a police officer is important because there needs to be a good soul out there helping people,” Hill said. “You [also] get to get out there in the community. Each scene I go to is helping a [different] situation.”

Favorite TV show: Professional wrestling 

Favorite restaurant: Ocean World

4.  Officer Jessica Lam

Officer Lam has been with IUPD for six months.

She chose to become an officer because it’s an exciting job field that keeps her on her toes.

“You get to talk to different people. You come to work everyday and you have no idea what’s going to happen.”

Lam believes being a police officer is important because “the world is not rainbows and butterflies. There will always be people out there with bad intentions, so someone has to help manage those [situations].”  

Favorite TV shows: The Walking Dead and Jane the Virgin

Favorite restaurant: The Oceanaire and Ocean Prime
