Episode 12: Officer David Goldstein, Northeastern University Police
Join Bob Plaschke, CEO of PepperBall, in First Response, a podcast dedicated to diving deep into the lives and challenges of emergency responders. In Episode 12, Bob speaks with David Goldstein—a 25-year law-enforcement veteran whose resume spans the U.S. Marine Corps, the LAPD, the NYPD, and now the Northeastern University Police.
Commended in Los Angeles for rescuing a kidnapping victim, named the NYPD’s 2014 Sergeant of the Year after dismantling a child-sex-trafficking ring in Brooklyn, and later commanding six sergeants and 70 officers in South Jamaica, Queens, David has led crime-reduction, traffic-safety, and community-policing initiatives that delivered measurable results. Today, as a Special State Police Officer and Deputy Sheriff at Northeastern, he tops the department in on-view arrests and was honored as the 2023 Officer of the Year.
From big-city streets to campus corridors, David’s experience offers clear, hard-earned insights into many aspects of policing
