🌟 SU DPS is proud to recognize Crime, Threat, and Risk Analyst Kaitlyn Gibbons with the Employee Recognition Award for Spring 2026!

Kaitlyn serves as a critical link between regional law enforcement intelligence and the safety of our campus. Her work — from crime analysis to threat assessments to investigative support — happens largely behind the scenes, but its impact is felt across the entire department.

This year alone, her work contributed directly to multiple case resolutions and helped identify crime trends essential to several investigations. We are incredibly proud to have her on the team.
