Confiscating drugs and thwarting human traffickers. That's the mission of the North Texas Sheriffs' Criminal Interdiction Unit. The focus is on illegal activity along highways and interstates in Collin, Grayson, Hunt, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant and Wise counties. Ten sheriff's deputies are assigned to the unit, which launched in December. Each is authorized to operate in any of the participating counties. Combining forces is what gives the unit such impact, Collin County Sheriff Jim Skinner said in a prepared statement after Wednesday's news conference about the unit.

Citing staffing shortages caused largely by low pay, the Anderson County Jail has begun housing inmates in neighboring Henderson County — at a cost of nearly $37,000 a month. The Texas Commission of Jail Standards sets staffing requirements. Having fallen below the state-specified officer-to-inmate ratio, Anderson County was forced to find alternate housing for 35 inmates — and pay for it. Under state standards, for example, four officers on the floor, one in processing and one in the control booth can supervise 192 inmates. Sheriff Greg Taylor said he started talking to county commissioners again in March and April about resolving the staffing issue. As of May 30, Taylor said, the jail is down 12 jailers.

With news of another mass school shooting earlier this month still fresh, Gov. Greg Abbott said the suspected Sante Fe High School gunman Dimitrios Pagourtzis had left just one clue to his evil plot — a Facebook post showing a simple black T-shirt bearing the words "born to kill." Seven months before he shot and killed 17 people at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in February, Nikolas Cruz posted a photo of his arsenal on Instagram, prompting Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel to describe Cruz's social media content as "very, very disturbing."
