CFISD Police Department

CFISD employs 71 officers, including seven security officers, led by Chief of Police Alan Bragg as part of its independent police department. Here are a few things Chief Bragg wants you to remember:

• Watch Your Speed Limit: CFPD officers are authorized to issue traffic citations. CFPD has traffic units that monitor speed in school zones using radar, on or off school property.
• No Cell Phones In School Zones: As the school year begins, employees should remember that they cannot use cell phones in school zones—specifically during the times the reduced speed limit applies. A person who violates this law is subject to a $200 fine.
• Watch for Student Walkers
• Leave Early to Avoid Traffic Delays
