In a message to the 51������ community announcing LeMire’s decision, Vice President for Business and Finance Janet Williams shared how she “will very much miss Joe’s depth of knowledge and his dedication to campus safety” and that his success as a chief “centers on building trust and collaboration with student organizations and enhancing relationships and safety understanding with faculty and staff.”

As a member of the Finance and Administration leadership team, LeMire has led a department of 21 certified police officers, a dispatch center that provides 24-hour dispatching services, and a team of community service officers who assist with parking enforcement and building and environmental security on campus.

Since arriving on campus in March 2021, his achievements include restaffing the department with certified police officers, building up community policing, advocating for the increased use of security cameras, launching an upgraded E-Alert system, achieving reaccreditation from the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators, and earning accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies.

Elon’s Campus Safety and Police is among a very small group of agencies in the United States that is dually accredited.

A national search will soon be launched to identify 51������’s next Chief of Police. Following LeMire’s departure in April, and until a successor is named, responsibilities for 51������ Campus Safety and Police will be managed by Interim Chief of Police Doug Dotson, who has loyally served the university for 30 years.

Elon Campus Safety and Police earned a rare dual accreditation from the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators and the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. Fewer than 100 law enforcement agencies across the country have earned dual accreditations. The department has held accreditation through IALEA since 2018 and earned accreditation through CALEA in 2025.

Joe LeMire, chief of Campus Safety and Police, said the recognition reflects years of work completed by members of the department and the high level of professionalism for department policies and procedures.

“I could not be more proud of this department and the professionalism they display every day to meet the needs of all students, staff, faculty and visitors,” LeMire said. “The true benefit is for the campus community, which can trust that its police and security services meet these standards and continue to improve.”

Doug Dotson, assistant chief of Campus Safety and Police, oversees the accreditation process. He said both accrediting bodies establish standards based on best practices for law enforcement agencies. Assessors visit each agency to conduct interviews with personnel and review policies and documentation to confirm that the level of service provided aligns with those established standards.

“These processes require you to closely examine your day-to-day operations and the ways they measure against best practices,” Dotson said.

The accreditation process has allowed the department to strengthen policies and improve training and equipment, ensuring officers have the tools necessary to successfully meet these standards.

Dotson added that annual reviews for the commission and four-year reviews for IALEA help the department maintain a high level of professionalism.

In September 2025, Nikki Guevara ’29 had just returned to campus from a coffee run with friends when she saw people in the Colonnades Quad waving for help with someone else on the ground. Guevara sprang into action, telling others to call 911 and retrieve an AED (Automated External Defibrillator), while she began CPR on fellow Elon student Lucy Sharp ‘29. Guevara did CPR for several minutes before emergency personnel arrived, saving Sharps’ life.

During Elon’s Staff Update in Alumni Gym on Friday, Jan. 30, Guevara and Sharp were joined by their families as Guevara received a Lifesaving Award from Elon Campus Safety and Police. Chief of Campus Safety and Police Joe LeMire acknowledged the importance of Guevara not only performing CPR but also helping direct others to help.

“That was really remarkable to see,” said LeMire, who was able to watch the incident via cameras after it occurred. “Your actions made a difference that has forever changed the life of another.”

Elon President Connie Ledoux Book acknowledged that the incident is a reminder of why community matters and exemplifies Elon’s values.

“Her observation of her classmate, her presence and courage under pressure, her willingness to step forward when it mattered most, these are the qualities that make us so proud of her, her actions, and contribute to making Elon such a special community,” said Book.

Guevara, a public health major from Burlington, North Carolina, got her CPR certification in high school and is studying to become a Physician Assistant. During Staff Update, Guevara encouraged the audience to get CPR certified in case they find themselves in a similar situation.

“I’ve received a lot of support from, not only from Lucy and her family, but the Odyssey Program and various faculty and staff at Elon and feel I’ve truly found a home, and I’m appreciative of that,” said Guevara. “I want today to be more of a reminder about why CPR education is so important. If I did not know how to do CPR, this outcome could have been completely different.”

The two students didn’t know each other well before the incident, but it has changed their relationship and, specifically, Sharp’s life.

“Her name in my phone is ‘Nikki Guevara saved my life,’” said Sharp.

Please note that University offices are closed Dec. 20-28, 2025, for weekends and an employee holiday break, and Jan. 1, 2026, for the New Year’s Holiday. The University will be open Dec. 29-31 and Jan. 2 as we prepare for the start of Winter Term the following week.
