OF THE 17 ALBUQUERQUE POLICE OFFICERS FIRED SINCE 2010, FIVE WERE LET GO DUE TO AN INCIDENT IN WHICH EXCESSIVE FORCE WAS USED. THAT'S WHAT THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS.
THE OTHER DOZEN DISMISSALS INCLUDED SIX OFFICERS FIRED FOR VIOLATING POLICY, FOUR INDICTED FOR CRIMINAL CHARGES, AND TWO WHO WERE STILL ON PROBATION, THEN DISMISSED WITHOUT THE REASONS BEING MADE PUBLIC.
