The School Board for the Pasadena Independent School District has voted to introduce the Guardian Program in an effort to help protect all campuses from the threat of an active shooter. The Guardian Program is our way of ensuring the safety of our campuses while we still recruit and train full-service police officers to serve our district’s students and staff.

When violent criminal incidents occur, seconds matter. Texas has recognized this and has passed House Bill 3 authorizing school districts to better protect their campuses by empowering individuals be armed and to be capable of defending our students and staff.

We feel the best way to have well trained people protecting our schools is to reach out to the retired law enforcement community for qualified personnel to fulfill this contracted duty.

Effective immediately! If you are a retired Police Officer (15 years or more of continuous service) in good standing.  We would love to have you join our Guardian Program and continue your service in a community that needs and wants you!!!

Become a Pasadena I.S.D. Guardian!

Armed Guardians will serve as safety consultants to our campuses. This is not a T.C.O.L.E. licensed position. Potential candidates do not need to renew or reactivate their T.C.O.L.E. or P.O.S.T. license to qualify. The Pasadena Independent School Board is the entity authorizing this armed non-law enforcement position.

In your previous career you served your community as a protector. Come work with us and make a seamless transition as a Guardian. We need you to help us keep our district safer. Come work for an organization that appreciates where you came from and will provide new challenges and goals for the next chapter of your life.

Life after retirement doesn’t have to be boring. You also don’t have to start from “scratch”. All your training and experience is an asset. Come be part of a team and a community that needs you and wants you present on campus.
