NJIT Department of Public Safety Chief Kevin Kesselman’s appreciation for the value of female officers is born from experience.
For nine years, his partner in the department was Edna Garcia. She retired as a detective sergeant in 2020 but left a lasting impression on Kesselman, so much so that when he became chief in July 2022, adding women to the force became a top priority. Shortly thereafter, the department joined a national coalition to increase female representation in policing by 2030.
