ALBUQUERQUE POLICE CHIEF GORDEN EDEN IS BACKTRACKING ON AN EARLIER DIRECTIVE THAT APD EMPLOYEES GET APPROVAL TO SPEAK TO THE U-S JUSTICE DEPARTMENT CONCERNING REFORMS AT APD. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL ALSO REPORTS EDEN APOLOGIZED FOR HOW THE ORDER WAS COMMUNICATED.
HE MADE THE APOLOGY WEDNESDAY MORNING DURING A SPEECH TO THE ECONOMIC FORUM OF ALBUQUERQUE AT THE HOTEL ALBUQUERQUE NEAR OLD TOWN. THAT'S ALSO WHERE APD PROTESTERS TURNED UP TO DEMONSTRATE AGAIN AGAINST ALBUQUERQUE'S OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTINGS.
APD SPOKESPERSON JANET BLAIR TELLS THE JOURNAL EDEN'S ORDER CONCERNING THE DOJ IS NOT A 'GAG ORDER.'
