Lindland was honored with the Outstanding Personal Contribution to Campus Public Safety by an Individual award during MACLEA’s annual Awards and Scholarship Ceremony this month at Framingham State University. 

Lindland, who was nominated for the award by Babson College Chief of Police Erin Carcia and Officer Justin Stiles, has been with the Babson College Police Department for seven years. She has assisted the department with recruitment and retention, data analysis, VIP and dignitary protection, and community engagement, and she serves as the department’s LGBTQ+ liaison officer.  

“Most everyone at Babson would describe Detective Lindland as a true authentic leader in everything she does from supporting and mentoring her peers to providing victim/witness advocacy support to the community,” Carcia wrote in her nomination. “Jennie is by far one of the most motivated and engaged officers in that she intentionally identifies every opportunity she can for personal training and professional development that will contribute to the bigger picture of our department and community impact.” 

Babson was honored among public safety and police departments from Berklee College of Music, Boston College, Endicott College, UMass Chan Medical School, College of Our Lady of the Elms, Roxbury Community College, and Salem State University. 

“Our award recipients deserve the recognition for their acts of selflessness, passion, commitment to others, bravery, leadership, mentorship, and a commitment to their communities through initiatives,” said Boston College Police Lt. Laurene Spiess, chairwoman of the MACLEA Awards Committee.
