Twenty-one-year-old Jude Chacko is being remembered as a sweet and loving young man who was very involved in his local church community in the Bustleton section of Philadelphia. It was sometime during the overnight hours this past Saturday night leading into Sunday when someone approached Chacko and shot him in the forehead.

While it's unclear what he was doing the night he was murdered, authorities believe robbery was the motive. That's because his wallet and a firearm, for which he had a permit to carry, were both missing.

As part of a reorganization, Temple’s Department of Public Safety introduces three new key roles
The deputy director of organizational affairs, director of tactics and professional development, and associate director of organization administration (HR) represent the first of several new positions that will be added to the Department of Public Safety in the coming months.
Over the last several months, Temple University’s Department of Public Safety has been completely reorganized to help increase professionalism, training and organizational development to better to serve both the Temple and North Philadelphia communities.
As part of this reorganization, Deputy Director of Organizational Affairs Michael Smith, Director of Tactics and Professional Development Chris Willard, and Associate Director of Organization Administration (HR) Amber James joined the department on June 5.
“Our reorganization has seen us revise the public safety organizational chart with a considerable expansion, allowing us to bring on 15 new strategic and tactical leadership and operational positions. These positions are key to optimizing the department to ensure that we’re aligned with the best practices seen in some of the top law enforcement agencies,” said Vice President for Public Safety Jennifer Griffin. “The deputy director of organizational affairs, director of tactics and professional development, and associate director of organization administration (HR) represent the first of these new positions, and we’re so excited that we have been able to bring on board individuals as talented as Michael, Chris and Amber.”
