Texas Shuts Down Trinidad Police Department After Mom Jailed Over Water-Quality Facebook Post
The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement revoked Trinidad Police Department's license on September 9, ruling the five-officer agency provided no proven benefit to the town and lacked nearly two dozen required policies. The investigation started after officers jailed resident Jennifer Combs overnight in May for a Facebook post about contaminated water, a post that turned out to align with the city's own boil-water notice.
