## Resource

Trinidad’s police department is officially disbanded after failing state standards—no vests, no evidence room, no basic policies—exposed by a viral Facebook arrest that sparked statewide scrutiny. The Henderson County Sheriff’s Office now takes over patrols, while locals debate whether this reckoning could finally fund long-neglected water infrastructure. The Texas Rangers continue investigating, and accountability, though delayed, is finally being enforced. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
