THE ALBUQUERQUE POLICE DEPARTMENT JUST GOT A LITTLE BIGGER. TWENTY-NINE OFFICERS GRADUATED TUESDAY FROM APD’S LATEST LATERAL CLASS. THE DEPARTMENT SAYS IT’S THE FIRST PHASE OF APD’S NEW RECRUITMENT PIPELINE, BRINGING IN OFFICERS FROM OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.
ANOTHER 34 CADETS ARE EXPECTED TO GRADUATE FROM THE TRAINING ACADEMY IN DECEMBER. MAYOR TIM KELLER SAYS IT’S PART OF A PLAN TO ADD 100 OFFICERS TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN EACH OF THE NEXT FOUR YEARS.
