A special investigations unit within the police department typically looks into any police shootings or allegations of misconduct, according to a source familiar with the process. The findings are sent to the DA&#8217;s office, which is often already conducting its own investigation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Garza did not respond to CBS News&#8217; request for comment on this story.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michael Bullock, president of the Austin Police Association, accused Garza of creating an environment of distrust.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I appreciate that DA Garza has publicly stated he will not seek any charges against our officers,&#8221; Bullock said in a statement posted to X. &#8220;My hope is that the DA understands he has built a dysfunctional and distrusting relationship with law enforcement in Travis County,&#8221;\u00a0 he said.<\/p>\n<p>O&#8217;Connell said the three officers he is representing understand and respect the officer-involved shooting review process. Their main concern had been the possibility of a lengthy grand jury proceeding.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside
