A new school resource officer was introduced to Bowie Independent School District students and staff Monday as Dale Ingram, veteran law enforcement officer, began work.

Ingram was selected late last week following an extensive interview process that included not only police, but school personnel and Child Protective Service staff.

The new SRO steps into the shoes of Bob Blackburn who served as SRO the past 14 years. Blackburn was recently promoted to detective in the criminal investigation division of the Bowie Police.

“We have begun the transition process bringing Dale in to learn department policy as well as school policy.

The 56-year-old Ingram resides at Montague with his wife, and the couple are raising their granddaughter. He brings 37 years of law enforcement experience to the SRO job. Read the full story in the mid-week News.
