THE CITY OF SANTA FE IS MAKING MORE ARRESTS FOR BURGLARY AND OTHER CRIMES, BUT THERE IS A DOWNSIDE. THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN REPORTS THAT, WITH MORE PEOPLE IN THE COUNTY DETENTION CENTER, THE COST OF RUNNING THE JAIL IS WAY UP. POLICE CHIEF RAY RAEL SAYS THE CITY IS GOING TO NEED AN EXTRA 185-THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FINISH THE FISCAL YEAR.
RAEL TELLS THE NEW MEXICAN THAT INCREASED JAIL COSTS WILL LIKELY AFFECT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S ABILITY TO REPLACE EQUIPMENT IN THE COMING YEAR.
