Patrol Officers protect life and property on all Northside ISD Campuses and facilities within the boundaries of the District, and enforce school zone speed limits. They randomly check District facilities on a 24-hour basis and respond to alarms at District facilities. Officers also investigate traffic accidents occurring on District property and assist other law enforcement agencies as necessary in the investigation of crimes within the District boundaries.

Patrol Officers are the primary response units to NISD elementary schools during school hours and assist the middle and high school Campus Officers.


There are two Northside Officers assigned to each high school campus, one Officer assigned to each middle school campus, and one Officer assigned to each alternative school and three special school campuses. Campus Officers have many of the same duties as Patrol Officers. In addition, Campus Officers protect persons and property on the campus and prevent unauthorized individuals from entering the campus. The Campus Officers also work closely with campus administration, assisting with serious discipline issues and taking law enforcement action when necessary. Campus Officers are positive mentors and role models to students.
