Established in September 2025, the Jasper ISD Police Department stands as a vital guardian of safety for students, staff, and visitors across all JISD campuses and other properties. With a dedicated team of sworn officers, this department is committed to fostering a safe and secure learning environment.

At the helm is Chief Joshua L. Hadnot, Ph.D., whose leadership is supported by a skilled staff that includes experienced school resource officers who foster a supportive and collaborative environment with students and staff. Together, they oversee 399 square miles of Jasper ISD territory and 4 campuses.

Under their watchful eyes, the department not only ensures safety but also builds a community where education can flourish without fear.

 

The Jasper Independent School District Police Department is a fully authorized agency by the State of Texas and established by the Jasper ISD School Board of Trustees in June of 2025.

All Jasper ISD Officers are licensed Police Officers by the State of Texas, under Texas Education Code, section – 37.081, and have the same powers, privileges, and immunities as regular Peace Officers. Our Officers may enforce all local, state, and federal laws and may take a juvenile into custody. JISD officers are assigned to all campuses and conduct a periodic patrol of other facilities throughout the District. Our Police Officers provide security coverage for a variety of services, such as all Sporting events, Dances, Graduations, and many other school functions as needed to ensure public Safety.
