Episode Details

Leander ISD’s brand-new police force is under fire as TCOLE probes hiring practices amid high turnover—nearly half of last year’s officers have already left. The district admits building a new department has been tough, scrambling to fix equipment gaps and reporting systems before the school year starts. Former officers, backed by a local union, raise alarms over resources and culture, prompting the district to hire a third-party consultant to assess internal climate. Despite the turbulence, six new hires—including an experienced assistant chief—are joining the ranks. All this follows a state mandate born from the Uvalde tragedy, with Leander investing over $1 million to comply.
