A DIFFERENT CLIMATE FOR POLICE IN THE UNITED STATES. THAT’S HOW ALBUQUERQUE POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT SHAUN WILLOUGHBY SEES THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY’S APPROACH TO LAW ENFORCEMENT. HE SAYS A GOOD EXAMPLE IS TUESDAY’S ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WILL REVIEW THE CONSENT DECREES PUT IN PLACE DURING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.
HE SAYS THEY’RE BEING MORE SUPPORTIVE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT … BUT WILLOUGHBY SAYS IT’S UNKNOWN WHAT IT MEANS FOR ALBUQUERQUE TWO YEARS ALONG IN ITS REFORM PROCESS.
WILLOUGHBY SAYS, AS OF RIGHT NOW, IT’S BUSINESS AS USUAL FOR ALL THE PARTIES INCLUDED IN THE CONSENT DECREE BETWEEN THE D-O-J AND THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE.
