Neer A 26-year veteran of the Boston Police Department will be the next director of Harvard's Security and police operations, Vice President and General Counsel Daniel Steiner '54 announced yesterday. Effective December 6, Paul E. Johnson will Replace Saul L. Chafin, director of security and police for the last five years. Chafin resigned his position in September to become director of security at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. Until December, Capt. Jack W. Morse, acting Chief of Police, will continue to direct security. Morse will continue in that role under Johnson, Steiner said. Top Cop The new police chief has been a deputy superintendent and area commander for Boston police since 1977. As commander, johnson directed operations in an area that includes the Harvard Medical Area and sections of Roxbury, North Dorchester, and Mattapan. Prior to 1977, Johnson was a director of training and education for the city's force, a sergeant on the tactical Patrol Force, a community service officer and a patrol officer. Johnson said yesterday he plans no immediate changes in the department. "I'm not going to do anything big," he said adding, "The first few months I'm just going to be sitting down with people, going over how things are done here." Career advancement, the challenge of running his own department, and Harvard's prestige were what attracted him to the job, Johnson said. "Harvard is the greatest university in the world, and to be chief of anything is always a step up," he explained. The Search The appointment ends an eight-week search process that brought together administrators from throughout the University. Steiner who chaired the committee, said Johnson was chosen from roughly 20"viable" candidates for his lengthy experience in police work and "a tremendous amount of professionalism." "We are eager to have a professional police department here, and we are eager to bring professionalism to it." the vice president said. Steiner dismissed Johnson's lack of experience in college police work as unimportant, saying that his professional experience outweighed any such drawback "Even if someone comes from another campus, success at one does not guarantee success at another." Steiner said "There is no way that anything at Harvard could match what's happening here in Boston." Johnson said. [[image]] Credit Joe Wrenn PAUL E.
