Police Partnerships
GCISD partners with numerous agencies to ensure the safety of its students, especially the Colleyville, Euless and Grapevine Police Departments.
Each campus has a School Resource Officer (SRO) that is stationed at the school during the school year.
Police officers regularly visit all campuses and are assigned from all divisions to visit campuses and build relationships with staff and students, including police officers eating lunch with students for free.
Police command staff and dispatch have access to school video cameras for emergency events.
Local police use the District’s schools for tactical training. This continues to familiarize them with each school and how best to respond to emergency situations.
The District uses internal audits and assistance from police to audit District schools and other facilities to assess vulnerabilities and make recommendations.
Off-duty police officers are hired as security at any event that may be heavily attended. The community is accustomed to seeing police partners at varsity football games, and GCISD has gone further to ensure safety at all heavily-attended events. These events could be large rivalry sporting events, fine arts performances or any other large event that is hosted in the District where extra security is needed.
Local police officers have provided training to the District’s bus drivers and bus monitors on various topics.
