  39. This doesn't exactly match the information available... The actual CISD police department consists entirely of a chief, four officers (maybe five as there's a conflict between sources), and a detective (with three schools in their jurisdiction.) They were not issued adequate firepower or armor for a situation like this and are generally supposed to call in back up from a neighboring department when something is beyond their capabilities to handle (which they did after two of them at least tried to reach the gunman and were driven back.) The bulk of the officers who were eventually present do not appear to have been from the CISD PD. That said, the CISD chief was the one in charge of the operations and he definitely failed to properly handle the situation. The CISD officers who responded first however, appear to have done their jobs properly. Also, the school district's protocol specifically called for officers to be stationed at the high school and the middle school. The elementary school isn't mentioned. Most of the security funding for the district appears to have gone toward the other two schools as well. Blame should go towards the governing body behind those decisions too. The deadliest mistakes made that day came from whoever propped the outside door open and (though I hate to speak ill of the dead) the two teachers who, having heard gunfire outside, inexplicably failed to immediately close and lock the classroom doors despite having plenty of time to do so. They were the only ones who didn't. If the border patrol officers who eventually took care of things needed a key to get by those doors, the gunman would have been thwarted by them as well.
