Constable Mark Herman to assign hundreds of law enforcement personnel to school districts this year

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – Constable Mark Herman and several of his staffers held a meeting on Wednesday to lay out a strategic plan in an effort to ensure additional law enforcement presence will be visible on various school campuses.

In the meeting, Herman stated he will add hundreds of Deputy Constables to ensure a safe learning environment throughout the school year. Deputies will also be assigned to check private schools and daycare centers in their assigned areas.

Herman met with the Police Chiefs of the five independent School Districts within Precinct 4; Spring ISD, Klein ISD, Cy-Fair ISD, Humble ISD, and Aldine ISD.

Additionally, the Precinct 4 Constable’s office has assumed all law enforcement duties for Tomball ISD.

“The safety of our children is everyone’s main concern and priority. Together as in years past, law enforcement will work together to attain these goals,” Constable Mark Herman said.

Humble and Klein ISD begin school next week.
