I can only guess they came to an agreement with the City of Uvalde, or the Constables to provide LE then for the schools? Suspending the whole PD seems short sighted if they didn't.
She reportedly told a fellow officer at the scene “If my son had been in there, I would not have been outside,” she said. “I promise you that.”
But since her kid wasn’t in there, she did nothing.

Very concerning if this statement from the article above is true.
“Based on analysis of surveillance and body cameras at the scene, he walks back into the hallway at 12:17 p.m. and mentions injured victims to a Border Patrol officer. At 12:18 p.m., he does not mention the children when a Texas Ranger talks to him about organizing the flow of information.
Pargas is last observed walking away from the school’s entrance at 12:20 p.m. New angles of the hallway security cameras obtained by CNN confirm Pargas does not reenter the hallway near room 112 where officers are gathering and eventually breach the classroom door some 30 minutes later.”
Not to be rude, but based on what we all saw at the school the PD was nothing more than a false sense of security. With the PD suspended the citizens at least know exactly where they stand.

Too bad it isn’t a situation where, if proven to be true, he could be stripped of retirement pay.Uvalde Police Lt acting as Chief on May 24 retired in lieu of termination hearing this week.

Audio shows DPS was aware children were trapped in Robb Elementary 30 minutes before classroom was breached, CNN reports
New audio obtained by CNN shows the Texas Department of Public Safety was made aware that children were trapped in Robb Elementary 30 minutes before the Border Patrol Tactical Unit finally breached the classroom and killed the shooter.
It’s been a while since there was an update. Lots of fear-mongering/bias in this Texas Tribune piece, but confirms the first LEOs on-scene made a decision I originally did not fathom they could make.

“He has a battle rifle”: Police feared Uvalde gunman’s AR-15
In previously unreleased interviews, police who responded to the Robb Elementary shooting told investigators they were cowed by the shooter’s military-style rifle. This drove their decision to wait for a Border Patrol SWAT team to engage him, which took more than an hour.

From that article ^^
"A Texas Tribune investigation, based on police body cameras, emergency communications and interviews with investigators that have not been made public, found officers had concluded that immediately confronting the gunman would be too dangerous. Even though some officers were armed with the same rifle, they opted to wait for the arrival of a Border Patrol SWAT team, with more protective body armor, stronger shields and more tactical training — even though the unit was based more than 60 miles away..."

Wow. Just wow.

That was a decision made long after he made entry. They had already decided that they weren't going in...because the chief proclaimed it a hostage situation.
For the first 20 or 30 minutes, they didn't know that the Border Patrol swat team would be there. Why they didn't rely on their own SWAT team is beyond me. Remember Uvalde SWAT's FB picture, showing them all kitted up, saying they were touring schools, like badass tough guys that we now know to be cowards.
