THE ALBUQUERQUE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS ACHIEVED PRIMARY COMPLIANCE WITH 93 PERCENT OF THE TASKS INCLUDED IN A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN APD AND THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT. BUT, ACCORDING TO THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL, INDEPENDENT MONITOR JAMES GINGER SAYS IN A NEW REPORT THAT THE LACK OF SCRUTINY APD’S HIGHEST RANKING OFFICERS GIVE USE-OF-FORCE CASES IS “STARTLING.”
THE LATEST REPORT COVERS REFORM EFFORTS FROM LAST AUGUST THROUGH JANUARY OF THIS YEAR.
