ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) — Cornell has a new police chief. 

After serving as interim chief since September, the university says Eric Stickel was promoted Thursday to top cop.

“Chief Stickel has demonstrated unwavering dedication, professionalism and leadership throughout his tenure with CUPD,” Associate VP for Public Safety David Honan said. “His commitment to campus safety, community engagement and operational excellence has earned the respect of his peers and the broader Cornell community. This promotion is a well-deserved recognition of his service and vision for the future of CUPD.”

Stickel has over 17 years of law enforcement experience. Stickel replaced Anthony Bellamy, who retired from Cornell as police chief to become a deputy chief in the Ithaca Police Department.
