The operations bureau includes the police patrol, drug interdiction, truancy enforcement, and training divisions. The operations commander oversees approximately 30 licensed peace officers.

The patrol division provides police officers who patrol the district, campuses, and support facilities 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. The officers patrol tactics include using foot, bicycles, and motor vehicles. Bicycles are used to patrol large instructional complexes, Rhodes Stadium parking lots, and the educational support complex. Motor vehicles are used to patrol all roads, streets, and highways within the geographical boundaries of Katy ISD. Officers who are assigned to the high schools patrol by walking inside and outside of the building. All officers are responsible for emergency response, criminal investigations, drug interdiction, evidence collection, criminal apprehension, truancy deterrence, and transportation code enforcement.

The drug interdiction division includes two canine teams trained to detect marijuana, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and all their derivatives. Canine teams may be used to inspect any unoccupied classroom, locker, and vehicle. All staff & student areas are subject to inspections.

The truancy enforcement division works closely with the campus administrators to prevent unexcused absences. When all interventions fail, however, criminal charges are brought against students or parents who intentionally violate the state compulsory attendance statutes.

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 Katy ISD police officers, service personnel, and law enforcement officers from other agencies. The training we provided through an agreement with the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officers Standards and Education saves the district money by using our own certified instructors.
