In 2023, the Board of Trustees authorized the creation of a district police department to serve Leander ISD students, staff, and the broader community. The Leander ISD Police Department was officially established in July 2025.
All Leander ISD police officers are fully certified by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement and are authorized to carry out their duties in accordance with Chapter 51 of the Texas Education Code and Board Policy DKE. The Chief of Police reports directly to the Superintendent and serves as a member of the district’s Executive Leadership Team.
The Leander ISD Police Department operates 24/7 year-round. Most officers are assigned to specific campuses or patrol areas throughout the district. Officers receive ongoing training in areas including active shooter response, bomb threat procedures, emergency first aid, de-escalation strategies, and defensive tactics.
The LISD Police Department exists to ensure a safe and secure environment where students can learn, employees feel safe to work, and the community can trust the department to ensure everyone’s safety.
