OUR MISSION

 

The UISD Police Department is committed to providing the highest quality of police service to the citizens and visitors of our district by aiding in the development and implementation of a well-defined plan to promote discipline and safety and to prevent drugs and violence on our campuses.

 

The United I.S.D. Police Department is a group of dedicated professionals committed to support the district’s mission by providing service-oriented enforcement of the law, maintaining the peace and protecting our school community.

 

The department is comprised of 40 sworn peace officers, 95 security officers, 2 K-9 Handlers, and 6 staff members.   All police officers of this department are licensed peace officers of the State of Texas.  They have full arrest powers and all rights, privileges and immunities similar to municipal police officers.

 

Each high school and middle school campus has two assigned police officers.  In addition to this, the district has School Resource Officers from the City of Laredo Police Department; these officers are also assigned at the high school campuses.

 

Additionally, officers are assigned to the Gang Unit, K-9 Unit, United Crisis Response Team, F.T.O. Program, Honor Guard, and Campus Crime Stoppers.  These units work in conjunction with local law enforcement authorities and other related departments.  The focus of all officers is to work as a positive influence on students and to protect the schools by providing a safe learning environment.

 

The UISD Police Department supports the district’s mission statement, “United, we inspire all students”.
