On and Off Campus, Officer Supports Rutgers-Newark and Its Neighbors
August 25, 2025
For more than 20 years, Lt. Jamie Hendrix of the Rutgers Police Department has been a familiar presence on and off campus at Rutgers-Newark, sometimes in uniform and sometimes in street clothes.
On the job, Hendrix, Commander of the Community Affairs unit, is everywhere, from jazz concerts at Clement’s Place to city grade schools and shelters for the housing insecure.
Hendrix believes on-campus safety starts with fostering connections between Newark residents and the university—something she does in a myriad of ways.
