Many public-school districts across the nation have budgeted to employ a campus police department of their own rather than having security officers or area police, county sheriffs or state troopers. Ennis is one of them.
They follow the example of the Dallas Independent School District Police Department. They have over 200 police officers, security officers and administrative staff for 228 schools that protect more than 158,000 students and 21,000 staff members. The training these campus police have is the same as required by city, county and the state.
