Deputy Chief Rodriguez Honored For His Outstanding Work at QCC

Last month, at the 30th Annual Massachusetts Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (MACLEA) Awards and Recognition Ceremony for Excellence in Higher Education Law Enforcement, Quinsigamond Community College Deputy Chief of Administration Reynaldo Rodriguez received the award for Outstanding Personal Contribution to Campus Public Safety. QCC Police Chief Kevin Ritacco, who nominated Deputy Chief Rodriguez for the award, said he has made outstanding contributions and is devoted to campus policing.

“Deputy Chief Rodriguez has worked tirelessly over the past several years assisting the department (QCC Campus Police) in attaining certification and accreditation from the Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission (MPAC),” said Chief Ritacco.

QCC is the first community college police department in the Commonwealth to receive this prestigious accreditation. Chief Ritacco said with over 20 years of experience, the Deputy Chief was able to help bring the QCC campus police department together to accomplish the task of certification and accreditation. As the department’s Accreditation Manager, his main focus was (and continues to be) on accreditation and professionalizing college policing.
