IT’S BEEN TALKED ABOUT FOR SOME TIME, AND TONIGHT (MON) A RESOLUTION GOES BEFORE THE ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCIL TO STUDY THE IDEA OF MERGING ALBUQUERQUE AND BERNALILLO COUNTY PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES… SPECIFICALLY POLICE AND FIRE.
COUNCILOR ISAAC BENTON TELLS NEWSRADIO KKOB IT’S WORTH LOOKING INTO AS IT WOULD SAVE MONEY, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, BENTON SAYS IT WOULD PROVIDE BETTER COVERAGE AND BETTER RESPONSE TIME FROM POLICE AND FIREFIGHTERS. BENTON SAYS A MERGER HOLDS A LOT OF PROMISE.
THE MEASURE IS ALSO CO-SPONSORED BY COUNCILORS DAN LEWIS AND KEN SANCHEZ.
