Clark County School District police chief resigns

After more than three months on paid administrative leave, the Clark County School District’s chief of police, Filiberto Arroyo, has resigned.

Arroyo, appointed to the post in February 2008, was placed on leave in late September 2011 without explanation from the School District.

Acting Police Chief James Ketsaa has filled the position since then.

The district released a statement Friday but would not comment on the details of Arroyo’s resignation.

“The Clark County School District and Mr. Arroyo are formally parting ways. While we are required to keep the terms confidential, the public should be assured this was not a buy out situation,” the statement said. “The school district is moving forward in many ways and new leadership at our police department will bring a renewed focus on protecting the safety of our students so they can learn and thrive.”

School District spokeswoman Amanda Fulkerson said Arroyo’s resignation is effective Jan. 25.

Ketsaa will remain acting chief while the school district conducts a nationwide search for a full-time replacement.
