The appointment last week of two new senior administrators at the Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) continues a department-wide restructuring begun a year ago.
Linda M. McCaul, a former Massachusetts corrections officer, will serve as HUPD's Associate Director of Operations, the department's third-highest ranking officer.
HUPD also hired Steven G. Catalano, a grants administrator and a Northeastern University criminologist, to administer crime prevention programs for Harvard.
Both McCaul and Catalano were lured to HUPD partly by Chief Francis D. "Bud" Riley.
Since his appointment as police chief in 1996, Riley has moved the department away from a traditional, reactive, crime-fighting force and towards a community-oriented, problem-solving force--a trend reflected by the backgrounds and ideologies of the new hires.
Both McCaul and Catalano will assume duties formerly performed by HUPD lieutenants, all seven of whom were fired last May amid a department-wide restructuring.
