Hobbs Municipal Schools is proud to announce the appointment of Shawn Hardison as the new Director of Safety & Security. With more than two decades of law enforcement and security experience, Hardison brings deep knowledge, local expertise, and a proven commitment to student safety to his new role.
Hardison served the City of Hobbs for over 20 years as a sergeant with the Hobbs Police Department. His career included assignments as a detective, field training officer, school resource officer within Hobbs Municipal Schools, and a SWAT officer. His experience in both crisis response and proactive prevention uniquely equips him to lead safety initiatives across the district.
After retiring from HPD, Hardison continued his service to the community as a Security Specialist with URENCO USA for the past three years, further enhancing his knowledge in facility protection, emergency preparedness, and federal compliance.
“We are excited to welcome Mr. Hardison back to Hobbs Municipal Schools in this important leadership role,” said Superintendent Gene Strickland. “His years of service in Hobbs, both as a peace officer and school resource officer, give him a strong understanding of the needs and challenges our schools face. His commitment to student and staff safety is unwavering.”
Assistant Superintendent for Operations Doug Young echoed the sentiment: “Shawn Hardison brings not only experience, but trust and familiarity within our community. His leadership will help ensure that our campuses remain secure, welcoming, and prepared to respond to any safety concern.”
As Director of Safety & Security, Hardison will oversee district-wide safety planning, emergency procedures, security personnel, and coordination with local law enforcement agencies. He will also be instrumental in implementing ongoing training and proactive safety measures across all Hobbs campuses.
“I am honored to take on this new role,” said Hardison. “I’ve spent most of my career working to protect the people of Hobbs. Returning to serve the schools—where the safety of our children is at paramount every day—is both a great responsibility and a personal mission."
