by | Jul 29, 2021 | Latest

Steve Wade, a 30-year law enforcement veteran, is the new chief of police for the Farmer­sville Independent School Dis­trict.

The new chief, who began working for FISD on July 1, succeeds former Police Chief Brian Alford, who recently re­signed.

Wade, 60, is in command of a force that comprises three offi­cers who were described by him as the individuals who actually “run” the department. “I won’t have to make any changes,” he said. “These officers do a great job. They have great experience and knowledge.”
