Texas DPS Director Steve McCraw Announces Retirement After 15 Years

Steve McCraw, the Director of the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), has announced his retirement at the end of the year, concluding a 15-year tenure.

His leadership has been marked by significant challenges, including the department's criticized response to the Uvalde school shooting and its involvement in Operation Lone Star, a border security initiative. McCraw's announcement came during a commencement speech at a DPS officer graduation ceremony in Austin.

Having led the DPS since 2009, his career in law enforcement is noted for its length and the controversies faced in recent years, especially concerning border security and public safety incidents.
