Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD
Test
Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD is committed to prioritizing the safety and security of every student, along with every staff member and visitor to district campuses. The district uses a multi-layered approach to safety and security, implementing measures to further protect those in our schools and facilities.
A major investment in safety is the establishment of the EMS ISD Police Department. Chief Charles Ramirez leads the team of police officers and security specialists. The department will continue to collaborate closely with law enforcement in the cities of Saginaw, Fort Worth and Blue Mound as well as Tarrant County to provide support and access to additional resources as needed.
Command Staff
Chief Charles Ramirez
Chief Charles “Charlie” Ramirez was hired in March 2021 as the Director of Safety and Security for EMS ISD to develop the EMS ISD Police Department and serve as its first chief. Ramirez came to EMS ISD from the Fort Worth Police Department, where he retired as the Assistant Chief after serving 29 years in enforcement and high impact leadership roles.
A Navy Veteran, Ramirez grew up in Blue Mound and attended EMS ISD schools, graduating from Boswell High School in 1985.
Captain Jon Grady
Captain Jon Grady is entering his fourth decade of law enforcement experience, having worked with the Fort Worth Police Department from 1982-2012. During that time, Grady worked in patrol, as a field training officer, as a sergeant, and finally 18 years as a lieutenant, including as the lieutenant over the FWPD School Safety Initiative, which included 54 officers in seven school districts.
For the last seven years, Grady served in the Mineral Wells ISD Police Department as a school resource officer in the district’s elementary schools before joining the new EMS ISD Police Department this summer.
Grady and Ramirez have a long history together. When Ramirez joined the FWPD, Grady served as his sergeant. Later in their careers, when Ramirez served as the FWPD Deputy Chief, Grady worked as his administrative aide.
Sergeant Gary Reynolds
Sergeant Gary Reynolds is a veteran law enforcement professional, serving 31 years in the Fort Worth Police Department (FWPD). Reynolds retired in 2021 as a Lieutenant and, over the course of his career, worked in patrol as part of the gang unit and, ultimately, as the supervisor of the detective unit in the FWPD North Division.
Reynolds and his wife have lived in Saginaw since 2005 and both of his daughters graduated from Boswell High School.
“Working for EMS ISD Police is a unique opportunity since the department is being created from the ground up,” Reynolds said. “I’m honored to be a part of the first group of police officers to be in EMS ISD, and I look forward to serving in the school district that we have lived and participated in for so long.”
