Uvalde:365 is a continuing ABC News series reported from Uvalde
and focused on the Texas community and how it forges on in the
shadow of tragedy.

The Uvalde, Texas, school district -- still facing withering
criticism over its police department's failings both during the
May 24 elementary school massacre and since -- announced the
suspension of the entire district police force on Friday.

Hours later, Uvalde school district Superintendent Hal Harrell
announced he would be retiring. There was no timeframe given for
Harrell's retirement, but the transition will be discussed in a
closed session of the school board on Monday.

The district said it's requested more Texas Department of Public
Safety troopers to be stationed on campuses and at
extracurricular activities amid the police department
suspension, adding, "We are confident that staff and student
safety will not be compromised during this transition."

The length of the school district police suspension is not clear.

Lt. Miguel Hernandez, who was tasked with leading the department
in the fallout from the shooting that killed 19 students and two
teachers, and Ken Mueller, the UCISD's director of student
services, were placed on administrative leave.

Hernandez acknowledged in a law enforcement communication in
August that he'd received formal notification from DPS that an
officer applying to Uvalde's school police force was under
investigation for her response at Robb Elementary.

Mueller has elected to retire, according to the school district.

"Officers currently employed will fill other roles in the
district," the school district said. According to the district's
website, that includes four officers and one security guard.

Victims' families, led by Brett Cross, guardian of 10-year-old
victim Uziyah Garcia, had been holding a round-the-clock vigil
outside the school district headquarters calling for change. The
families are now commending Friday's police department
announcement.

"We've gotten a little bit of accountability," an emotional
Cross told ABC News. "So, it's a win, and we don't get very many
of those."

Kimberly Rubio, whose daughter, Lexi, was killed at Robb, said
the department suspension was "what we've been asking for --
it's more than we've been asking for."

"They don't know how to hire people, they don't know how to vet
officers," she told ABC News. "They haven't provided proper
training."

Gloria Cazares, whose 9-year-old daughter, Jackie, was killed,
called the department suspension "bittersweet."

"It's a win -- a small win," she told ABC News. "We're not done."

Berlinda Arreola, the grandmother of victim Amerie Jo Garza,
added, "This is the perfect example of why we didn't stop."

"We are going to continue because there are other children that
still go to school here. We have a lot of siblings of the
deceased that go here," she said. "We want to make sure our kids
are secure and protected. And we want to make sure that the
people protecting them are willing to protect them."

The department suspension comes one day after the firing of
Crimson Elizondo, the officer who was hired by Uvalde's school
district despite being under investigation for her conduct as a
DPS trooper during the massacre.

Elizondo was the first DPS member to enter the hallway at Robb
after the shooter gained entry. The trooper did not bring her
rifle or vest into the school, according to the results of an
internal review by DPS that was detailed to ABC News.

INCOMPETENT BITCH ALERT

CUNTS DO NOT MAKE GOOD COPS

As a result of potential failure to follow standard procedures,
the trooper was among seven DPS personnel whose conduct is now
being investigated by the agency's inspector general. The seven
were suspended, however, by Elizondo resigning from DPS to work
for the Uvalde schools she was no longer subject to any internal
discipline or penalties. Her conduct -- if found to be in
violation of law or policy -- would still be included in the
final report from the DPS inspector general.

The school district said in Friday's statement that "decisions
concerning" the school district police department have been
pending results of investigations from the Texas Police Chiefs
Association and the private investigative firm JPPI
Investigations, but "recent developments have uncovered
additional concerns with department operations."

Results of the JPPI investigation "will inform future personnel
decisions" and the Texas Police Chiefs Association's review
"will guide the rebuilding of the department and the hiring of a
new Chief of Police," the statement said.

The school district's police chief, Pete Arredondo, was fired in
August.
