The Burnet Consolidated Independent School District officially recognized its new police officers during a Monday, Sept. 21, Board of Trustees meeting with a special badge pinning ceremony. The newly-formed BCISD Police Department welcomed officers Wendy Kanzenbach, Jason Jewett, and Frank Creasey earlier this year.

Officer Kanzenbach, who is stationed at Burnet High School, was part of the Rogers, Nolanville, Lakeway, and Killeen Independent School District police departments before joining the district. She has served as an officer, K-9 handler, and detective.

Officer Jewett, who oversees Burnet Middle School, joined the district after serving over 33 years with the Lago Vista and Austin police departments, as well as the Burnet County Sheriff’s Office as a livestock and patrol deputy.

Officer Creasey, who serves Bertram Elementary School, has an extensive background in public safety, serving the Burnet County Sheriff’s Office and the Bertram, Austin Hospital, Austin Parks, and Austin Airport police departments. He has worked as an officer and lieutenant.

BCISD Police Chief Dewayne Kyle, who was sworn in as chief in May, presented each officer with their badge while administrators and supporters congratulated the cohort.

“We appreciate all of you, and thank you so much for joining our brand new BCISDPD team,” Superintendent Dr. Aaron Pena said after the ceremony. “Thank you for all the work you do overseeing our most precious resource–our students.”
