Peacock Named Director of Security and Safety

Chad Peacock is FWCD’s new Director of Security and Safety. A steady and trusted presence on campus since 2000, Peacock previously served as Security Supervisor, working with longtime Director Craig Slayton, who hired Peacock nearly 25 years ago. As the only full-time armed Security Officer on campus, outside of FWCD’s valued partnership with the Fort Worth Police Department, Peacock has been a central figure in managing emergencies, leading with professionalism, calm decision-making, and a strong sense of care for the community.

Peacock brings a wealth of training and experience to his new position. A graduate of the Tarrant County College 88th Basic Police Officer Academy, he holds certifications as a Level IV Personal Protection Officer and ALICE Active Shooter Instructor. He has led numerous safety trainings, coordinated security for major school events, and managed countless emergencies, demonstrating strong leadership and decision-making skills. Known for his thoughtful approach and ability to anticipate needs before they arise, Peacock embodies FWCD’s values of compassion, responsibility and leadership.
