THE ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCIL HAS DECIDED TO SPEND 20-THOUSAND DOLLARS ON A STUDY OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. COUNCILOR DON HARRIS TELLS 770 KKOB THE STUDY WILL LOOK AT STAFFING LEVELS, PAY AND WORKING CONDITIONS IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT TREND OF FEWER OFFICERS ON THE STREET. HARRIS SAYS THE STUDY WILL ALSO DETERMINE IF THE OFTEN-STATED GOAL OF 11-HUNDRED OFFICERS IS STILL ACCURATE.
CURRENTLY THERE ARE FEWER THAN A THOUSAND OFFICERS ON THE FORCE.
