Fred Hardee, formerly of the Monterey Police Department, is named CSUMB's new Chief of Police. He replaces Lieutenant Joe Maltby, who started at CSUMB in August 1994 and recently retired after 29 years in law enforcement. Hardee had a lengthy career with the Monterey Police Department. His last position was lieutenant.

"My goal was always to become a police chief," says Hardee. "Watching CSUMB evolve as it has over the years, I've been impressed with its growth, both in size and in the numbers of students in attendance. I want to build on the positive relationships the police department already has with the campus community. There are many quality individuals within our organization. They will continue to be proactive to ensure the safety of everyone on campus. As for myself, I plan to be visible and accessible to everyone, whether students, staff, or faculty."

Hardee served four years with the Salinas Police Department, two years with the Seaside department and two years with the Huntington Beach department in Southern California before spending 14 years with the Monterey Police Department. Chief Hardee is married and has three children. A Monterey native, Hardee holds an A.S. degree in administration of justice from Monterey Peninsula College and a B.A. in management from St. Mary's College in Moraga.
