5月24日，五名德克萨斯州公共安全部官员在罗伯小学现场的作为或不作为已被提交给德克萨斯州监察长，以确定是否有必要采取纪律措施，以及是否应该向DA提起刑事诉讼，DPS通信负责人周二告诉ABC新闻。
德克萨斯州DPS发言人Travis Considine告诉ABC新闻，五名官员中的两名已被带薪停职，等待总检察长的调查结果。
DPS主任史蒂夫·麦克劳下令对他的警官在致命的乌瓦尔迪小学枪击事件中做了什么和没有做什么进行自上而下的审查。特别州立法调查发现，联邦、州和地方执法官员中有DPS人员在现场，他们在一个多小时内没有采取行动制止屠杀。

康赛丁说，内部审查现在已经完成。该机构已将五名DPS官员的行为/不行为提交给国家监察长，监察长现在将进行调查，以确定应采取何种纪律措施(如果有的话)。监察长还可以将其调查结果提交给乌瓦尔迪的地区检察官，后者将继续对校园枪击事件进行刑事调查。
即使监察长决定不采取行动，McCraw也有权对这些官员采取内部纪律措施。康西丁说，这五名军官的身份没有被确认，他们的军衔也没有被公布。
与此同时，在校园枪击事件发生后，McCraw发布了两项新命令，将从根本上改变德克萨斯州警方处理程序的方式，在校园枪击事件中，19名学生和两名教师丧生。
《乌瓦尔迪:365》是美国广播公司的一个连续新闻系列，从乌瓦尔迪报道，重点关注德克萨斯州社区以及它如何在悲剧的阴影下前进。
根据其中一项，一旦在学校宣布了一名“活跃的枪手”，德州DPS人员——骑警和骑警——就不能把这种情况当作别的事情来处理，直到这名或这些枪手被制服。
根据另一项命令，从现在起，所有DPS人员都被命令超越任何其他阻碍采取积极措施压制校园枪手的执法人员。
警方花了将近77分钟对抗并击毙了一名18岁的枪手，但是屡战屡败全国性报表由德克萨斯州立法机关的一个特别委员会发布找到。其中，报告发现学区警察局长Pete Arredondo“未能履行或将事件指挥官的角色转移给另一个人。”
阿雷东多是上个月被解雇了在致命的校园枪击事件发生后，社会一直在呼吁追究责任。前任局长被推后尽管采取了“所有合理的行动”，他还是“被迫扮演‘替罪羊’的角色。”
5 Texas officers on-site at Uvalde school referred to inspector general; 2 so far suspended with pay: DPS
The action or inaction of five Texas Department of Public Safety officers on-site at Robb Elementary School on May 24 has been referred to the Texas inspector general to determine what, if any, discipline is warranted and whether a criminal referral to the DA should be made, the DPS communications chief told ABC News Tuesday.
Two of the five officers have been suspended with pay pending the outcome of the inspector general's investigation, Texas DPS spokesman Travis Considine told ABC News.
DPS Director Steve McCraw ordered a top-to-bottom review of what his officers did and did not do during the deadly Uvalde elementary school shooting. The special state legislative investigation found that there were DPS personnel on-site among the federal, state and local law enforcement officers who did not take action to stop the massacre for more than an hour.
That internal review is now done, Considine said. The agency has referred the actions/inactions of five DPS officers to the state inspector general, who will now conduct an investigation to determine what -- if any -- discipline should be forthcoming. The inspector general can also refer its findings to the district attorney in Uvalde, who continues to conduct a criminal probe of the school shooting.
Even if the inspector general decides against taking action, McCraw has the authority to issue internal disciplinary measures to those officers. The five officers are not being identified and their ranks are not being released, Considine said.
Meanwhile, McCraw has issued two new orders that will radically change the way police procedure is handled in Texas in the wake of the school shooting, in which 19 students and two teachers were killed.
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.
Under one, once an "active shooter" is declared at a school, the situation cannot be treated as anything else by Texas DPS personnel -- troopers and Rangers -- until the shooter or shooters are neutralized.
Under the other order, all DPS personnel are ordered from now on to override any other law enforcement officers who are standing in the way of taking active measures to neutralize a school shooter.
The police response took nearly 77 minutes to confront and kill the 18-year-old gunman and was plagued with failures, astate reportissued by a special committee in the Texas Legislaturefound. Among them, the report found that school district police chief Pete Arredondo "failed to perform or to transfer to another person the role of incident commander."
Arredondo wasfired last monthas the community has continued to call for accountability following the deadly school shooting. The former chiefpushed backthat he was "forced into the role of the 'fall guy'" despite taking "all reasonable actions."
