Ohio State University has named Kimberly Spears-McNatt as the school's new police chief.

Spears-McNatt had been serving as interim chief since Craig Stone accepted a job in Illinois this summer.
Spears-McNatt says one of the things she'll stress is the importance of professional development and cross-training within the division, so that if someone leaves a position another person can step in and fill the role immediately. She's been a part of the university's police force since 1994.
