I am proud to lead a dedicated team of sworn peace officers, crossing-guards, and professionals in behavioral health and risk management whose primary objective is to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and hundreds of visitors to the District’s campuses and facilities. Every one of us strives to protect tomorrow’s leaders while providing an unparalleled level of service.

During my 25 years serving in law enforcement, my concentration has been on advancing school policing’s role to include equity, behavioral health, student advocacy and improving school safety. These concentrations have guided the development of the policies and procedures that govern our agencies’ unique peacekeeping needs.

Previously, I served as Chief of Police for Bastrop ISD, Sergeant Investigator with the Texas Attorney General, Public Integrity Unit of the Travis County District Attorney’s Office and as a Senior Investigator with the State Bar of Texas, Assistant City Manager and Chief of Police for the City of Tulia, and most recently as the Executive Director of Safety and Security for Round Rock ISD. I graduated cum laude from the University of Texas at Brownsville with a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice. I earned a Master’s of Science in Educational Human Resource Development from Texas A&M University and served in Operation Desert Storm in the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army.

I am committed to accountability, respect, and communication; please do not hesitate to let me know when we have met your needs or believe we may have fallen short in our duty.

Respectfully,

Jeffrey D. Yarbrough
Round Rock ISD
Chief of Police
