You know our country is in troubleā€¦

Have just read a few pages of the thread.

Maybe I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill, and maybe I'm just flat out wrong, but the Uvalde Indepdent School District has its own police department:

You'll see Chief Arredondo (who I've seen conduct the interviews) on this page.

Here is the link to the Uvalde Police Department:

https://www.uvaldetx.gov/government/city_departments/uvalde_police_department.php
with Chief Pete Rodriguez.

The City of Uvalde has 15000 people; the County 25000.

Two questions:

1. From what we now know, there was no police officer on the campus. This presumably would have been the responsibility of the responsibility of the ISD Police Department.

Why didn't the ISD PD have a copy on the campus?

2. Why does such a small jurisdiction have a P.D. for its school district as well at a City Police Department?
