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.

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

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

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

3. I'm curious

as to why such a small district has it's own police force. I live in Texas in a city with well over 300,000 people. Our school district has police resource officers from the city police department. My son's senior high (only 11th and 12th grades)
had almost as many students as the entire Uvalde school district population of 4150. They had one school resource officer. It just seems odd.
