A police department like any otherSAISD’s police department functions 24/7, and officers have almost as much jurisdiction as the San Antonio Police Department.

However, school officers can pull drivers over, hand out traffic tickets and make arrests, especially if those incidents could potentially affect school safety. During the 2024-25 school year, SAISD officers made about 200 arrests in cases ranging from incidents of assault to drugs and trespassing charges.
