Drexel University’s recently hired Director of Police Operations Michael Sinclair will not be taking the job due to “unexpected personal reasons”, James Katsaounis, executive director of communications for the Division of Student Life and Administrative Services said Sept 9.
Drexel will go back to the original applicant pool to search for someone to fill the Director of Police Operations post, Katsaounis said.
Sinclair told Drexel he regretted informing the University so late into the process because he was looking forward to joining the Drexel Public Safety team, Katsaounis said.
CLARIFICATION: A post on this blog labeled Sinclair as the “former Nazareth Borough Chief of Police.” Sinclair never resigned as Chief according to the Express Times. The original information came from an official press release issued by Drexel University.
As a clarification, information regarding the hiring of Michael Sinclair was released to The Triangle on September 4 after Sinclair had his official portrait taken on August 27, signed his offer letter of employment on September 2, attended new employee orientation on September 8, and was in possession of a University vehicle. On September 9, Sinclair informed the Senior Associate VP for Public Safety that he was unable to accept the position due to personal reasons.
