 | Robert Putzke
Director and Chief
E-mail: rputzke@montana.edu -- Phone: (406) 994-3220
I began my university police career as a dispatcher and student security officer in Houston, TX at Rice University in 1982. I became a police officer there in February 1984 and promoted to Sergeant in 1989. In 1993, I promoted to Assistant Chief at Stephen F. Austin University in East Texas, spending 11 years there. I became Chief at MSU in February 2004. Having spent over 25 years working at three different Universities, I feel qualified to say that MSU is the best University in the nation and the MSU Police Department has to be the best group of officers and staff to work for period! Also, I wouldn't trade living and working in Montana for anywhere else in the world! My family and I enjoy camping, hunting, fishing and whitewater rafting every chance we get.

 | Tim Wenthe
Police Officer
E-mail: timothy.wenthe@montana.edu -- Phone: (406) 994-1205
I received my bachelor degree in Liberal Studies from Indiana University. After several years in the bicycle and fitness industry, I moved from the Midwest to Montana where law enforcement became my vocation, first as a Detention Officer and then as a Police Officer. I enjoy exploring the wilderness of Montana via backpacking, snowshoeing, and skiing. If, as a result, I become frostbitten, I have, on occasion, been known to thaw out at a hot springs.
