RIDGEFIELD — The local public schools has hired its first security director — a new position added after a review of the district’s security systems.
Ridgefield Public Schools announced on Tuesday that it has appointed Joshua Zabin as the director of school security and safety. He will begin his position next month.
Zabin worked in the Fairfield Police Department for 32 years, rising to the rank of captain before his retirement from law enforcement in 2018. Since retiring, he has worked as senior security manager for Building & Land Technology in Stamford and consulted for the Ridgefield Public Schools in its recent safety survey, according to the school district.
Schools Superintendent Susie Susie Da Silva said Zabin’s experience in the schools as a police officer was important to the hiring committee.
