The Uvalde school district said Friday that it’s suspending the entire district police department.
The move by the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District comes during an investigation by the Texas Police Chiefs Association and JPPI Investigations into law enforcement’s delayed response to the Robb Elementary School shooting in May. Nineteen students and two teachers were killed.
“Recent developments have uncovered additional concerns with department operations,” the district said, adding that currently employed officers will move to other roles in the district. A report on the investigation is expected later this month.
