Uvalde School District Police Chief Resigns After One Year in Role

Joshua Gutierrez steps down as chief, marking another leadership change since the 2022 school shooting.

Gutierrez's resignation will be presented for approval on June 17, with his last day set for June 26.
He was appointed interim chief in November 2022 and became the permanent chief in March 2023.
Gutierrez succeeded Pete Arredondo, who was fired for his response to the Robb Elementary School shooting.
The DOJ criticized law enforcement's delayed response to the 2022 shooting that killed 21 people.
The district has begun the search for a new chief to maintain safety and security standards.
