A part that is definitely true, is that the DPS Training Unit is over-booked. They have excellent trainers, and one of the finest facilities in the country, so the State Dept keeps making deals with foreign countries for DPS to train their police officers. When I was there for the School Safety course, they had just finished with a police unit from Guatemala (or Honduras), were expecting a group from Morocco, and had to squeeze us in before a new DPS Trainee class the next Monday. Meanwhile, DPS is so short of officers, that some of the firearms training unit have to pull TDY whenever there is a weather emergency.
