ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCILORS MONDAY NIGHT CONSIDER A RESOLUTION TO PROVIDE 3-MILLION DOLLARS TO APD. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THE MONEY WOULD BE USED TO PAY FOR AN EXTRA CLASS OF 40 LATERAL OFFICERS. THE TWO SPONSORS OF THE MEASURE ARE COUNCILORS DON HARRIS AND CYNTHIA BORREGO.
THEIR RESOLUTION WOULD FUND A CONDENSED ACADEMY FOR OFFICERS FROM AGENCIES OUTSIDE THE CITY WHO’VE ALREADY BEEN SWORN IN AND CERTIFIED. HARRIS TELLS THE JOURNAL RECRUITMENT EFFORTS IN ALBUQUERQUE ARE ALREADY AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. THE THIRD ACADEMY WOULD BRING APD CLOSER TO HAVING A FULL STAFF.
