NKU Community, please welcome Officer Bass.

Hello NKU!!!

My name is Emily Bass, I am originally from Alexandria, KY. After high school, I attended Morehead State University and graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor’s in Animal Science. I worked in the veterinary/equine field from 2016 to 2021 where I then made the transition to a career in public safety. This year, I will be going into my fourth year of law enforcement, I am also certified as an EMT-B.

In my free time, I enjoy working out, hiking with my dog Rudy, and spending time with family and friends. I chose a career in public safety due to the service-oriented nature of the career, everyday is different and you’re always learning something new.

I joined NKUPD because of the strong initiative towards community engagement and creating a safe and supportive campus environment. I am looking forward to serving the community I grew up in and being closer to home.
