Quitman ISD is committed to the safety and security of students, faculty, staff, and visitors on its campuses. We are excited to welcome a new employee to our safety and security team, Corbitt Shirley. This will add to the already existing school resource officers that patrol the campuses. These two officers bring a variety of valuable skills with them. Chris Davis is a veteran who has served 20 years in the US Navy and 7 years of law enforcement. Corbitt Shirley brings 4+ years of experience as a Fire Academy Graduate, EMS Academy Graduate and Licensed Security Officer.

Both Chris and Corbitt attended special training courses to prepare for the role of Safety/Security officers. The training encompassed four security levels, ensuring both officers are equipped to handle various school-related situations. Such as classroom safety/security, firearm training and qualification, as well as close quarters battles. The fourth level is Personal Protective Officer training, which grants them the authority to detain suspects.

Their daily responsibilities will consist of patrolling both campuses indoors and outdoors. The officers will rotate between campuses allowing one or the other to be on each campus every day. This rotation strategy aims to familiarize students with both officers and foster relationships with all students. The officers will maintain a vigilant eye for potential threats and actively plan for any potential events that may arise and determine the appropriate courses of action for each situation.

Chris and Corbitt are welcomed as an added branch of security for Quitman ISD.

Welcome to the Bulldog Family!
