Jason Lunsford joined the NCSSM team in the summer of 2025 as Assistant Director of Campus Safety and Protection of Minors Coordinator on our Durham campus. With over two decades of law enforcement experience, including 15 years in supervisory roles and a decade dedicated to counterterrorism operations, Jason is an accomplished former Lieutenant with the New York City Police Department. During his tenure with the NYPD, he held key leadership positions within the Counterterrorism Bureau and the World Trade Center Command, where he oversaw complex interagency operations, high-threat event planning, and critical infrastructure security. His extensive training in counterterrorism and emergency and crisis management, combined with a solid academic foundation in psychology from Hofstra University, underscore his commitment to safety, preparedness, and operational excellence. Outside of work, Jason enjoys spending time with his wife, two daughters, and their mini dachshund.
