Training Division

The training division is a leader in the development and delivery of innovative training programs that enhance school safety and security; as well as, providing law enforcement related training to Brownsville ISD police officers, service personnel, and law enforcement officers from other agencies.  The training, provided through an agreement with the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, saves the District money by utilizing the department's own certified instructors.
