the additions of Officer Shelby Samuelson and Officer Calvin Harp to the Hitchcock ISD Police Department.
Before Thanksgiving Break, Chief Filidei had the honor of swearing in these two officers.
Officer Samuelson joins us after serving the past 14 years with the La Marque Police Department where he held the positions of Patrolman, Detective, and had five years of supervisory experience as a Corporal and Sergeant. Officer Samuelson has attained his Master Peace Officer certificate, School-based Law Enforcement Officer certificate, and has a Bachelor’s degree from Stephen F. Austin State University.
Officer Harp joins us after spending five years with the La Marque Police Department. In his time with LMPD, Officer Harp served as a patrolman before being promoted to the rank of Corporal. In addition to his patrol duties, Officer Harp has earned his Intermediate Peace Officer certificate, his Mental Health certificate, has an Associates Degree, and has also served as a Field Training Officer. He is passionate about crisis intervention, de-escalation and believes that mental health training is integral to a police officer’s duties and success.
We are excited these two great individuals have joined our team and look forward to their success and the additional safely they bring to our students, staff and community.
