DALLAS — Gov. Greg Abbott appointed a Dallas-area U.S. Secret Service agent to oversee Texas’ school safety efforts.
John Scott, who previously served as assistant special agent in charge of the North Texas district as well as on the North Texas Cyber Fraud Task Force and the Protective Intelligence and Physical Protection Unit, started the job Monday.
“Chief Scott’s wealth of experience in security and intelligence and exemplary service to our nation make(s) him the perfect fit as the new Chief of School Safety and Security,” Abbott said in a statement Monday.
