The Uvalde School District Police Chief is Pedro “Pete” Arredondo. Pressed by reporters if Arredondo was on the scene during the shooting, McCraw declined to comment. Arredondo is identified on the Uvalde School District website as the police chief and was introduced as the police chief at news conferences on Tuesday in the hours following the shooting at Robb Elementary. Arredondo has nearly three decades of law enforcement experience, according to the school district, and he was recently elected to a seat on Uvalde’s city council. A board of trustees for the school district approved Arredondo to head the department in 2020.
