Prairiland ISD will soon have its own campus police department, currently being fast-tracked through Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, after the district’s board of trustees unanimously approved the resolution during its meeting late Monday night.
The board also approved to hire former Paris Police Lt. John Berry as the district’s soon-to-be police department’s chief, once approved by TCOLE, according to Superintendent Jeff Ballard. To provide a police presence at all Prairiland ISD’s campuses, the district plans to add two more officers to the department.
