DeKALB – In the wake of Northern Illinois University Police Chief Donald Grady’s termination, NIU police leaders are rolling out new exchange programs with DeKalb police and a new operations manual.

Leaders have no firm timeline for announcing a permanent police chief, but Acting Director of Public Safety Bill Nicklas gave NIU President John Peters a verbal report on his review of police personnel and policies last month.

“There will be some more permanent determination possibly by the end of the semester,” Nicklas said.
