First full school year for Eanes ISD police department

Austin (KXAN) — As students and teachers return to the classroom, Eanes Independent School District police officers are reporting for their first full school year since the department was formed in 2023.

Chief of Police Matt Greer said 11 officers are on the force -- enough for each campus to have one officer on site and more than one at Westlake High School.

Greer retired from the Austin Police Department before coming to Eanes ISD. He said it's a different experience patrolling the halls than patrolling the streets.
