THE Gun Thread

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

I expect a police CHIEF to know that he’s in charge of police operations. 

Not sure what you brought up what you did, since I said nothing about the response, I was simply wondering why Arredondo would say he didn’t know he was in charge, since his job is to BE in charge.

For the record, Uvalde has about 40 sworn full time officers and a part time SWAT team. Uvalde, a town of 16 000 people has a $4 million dollar police budget - that’s just police, not the whole town. That’s 40% of the entire civic budget.

I know I’ve said this before, but you should really look stuff up before posting it here.

As head of the six-member police force responsible for keeping Uvalde schools safe, Arredondo has been singled out for much of the blame, particularly by state officials.

Those six members are the Uvalde School District police. The town as a whole has the number of officers mentioned above. When crimes occur on school property, Arredondo, as chief of the School District police, is in charge. How could he not know that? It’s in his job title. It’s like a taxi driver claiming he didn’t know he was supposed to drive people around in exchange for money.

The police response to the Texas school massacre was led by the chief of a six-officer police department that oversees about eight schools. The first officers on the scene were from the Uvalde city police force, which has a part-time SWAT team and about 40 officers on the payroll.


Policing experts said it makes sense that the school police chief was in charge, given that it was his campus and he knows the safety protocols.
