The Humble ISD Police Department began in 1993, when Mr. Don Maddox was hired by the district as security coordinator. In January 1994, the Humble ISD board of trustees voted to make application to the state for a school district police department and the application was approved in February of the next year. Don's title changed to Chief of Police, and several security officers were hired.

    In December, 2003, Mr. Maddox retired and Captain Solomon Cook was promoted to Chief of Police. Chief Cook has been with Humble ISD since 1996, and was a police officer with the City of Humble before coming to Humble ISD.

    The department has grown to include 21 police officers and two security officers who man 11 fully equipped patrol vehicles. There is also one contract officer based at Humble High School.

    The police department personnel patrol the district's facilities 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and respond to alarms and calls for service. Our officers issue citations, complete offense reports, and make arrests. During the school year, we have officers assigned to each of the high school campuses. Officers also provide security at district athletic events and other campus functions.

    As with all law enforcement agencies, continuous training is an important part of our police department. In order to maintain our state license, our officers must complete 40 hours of training every 2 years. Chief Cook makes every attempt to schedule these training classes during times when school is not in session.

    The department moved into its renovated offices, located at 341 Charles Street in Humble, in 2000. Bond funds from the 2002 referendum will provide a new parking lot and emergency generator.
