Klein ISD has always been and remains committed to the safety and security of all students, staff, and our community.

EXISTING SAFETY & SECURITY HIGHLIGHTS

The Klein ISD Police Department consists of highly-trained officers, including a K-9 unit. Klein ISD police officers monitor our schools and facilities 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Klein ISD Police Department partners with local law enforcement agencies, including the FBI. Report threats and request mental health support 24 hours a day through our KeepKleinSafe website (www.kleinisd.net/keepkleinsafe). School entrances have secure vestibules with card reader access locks. Emergency response operations, plans, and protocols are frequently revised and practiced. Klein ISD police officers partner with school nurses and counselors at every school. Klein ISD Board of Trustees approved the hiring of additional school police officers. ENHANCED SAFETY & SECURITY HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2022-2023 The Klein ISD Police Department regularly conducts active shooter drills on campuses along with other routine safety drills. The Klein ISD Police Department has one of the largest total number of ALERRT Trained Officers (Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training) on staff in the state of Texas. These officers also regularly train other districts and departments. The Klein ISD Police Department, established in 1982, was the first and is the finest school-based police department in Texas and continues to be a model for other districts across the state.
