ALBUQUERQUE’S POLICE OVERSIGHT BOARD IS RECOMMENDING AN ANTI-RETALIATION POLICY FOR APD. BOARD MEMBER SUZANNE BROWN SAYS THE CITY’S SETTLEMENT WITH THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT INCLUDED DEVELOPING THE POLICY … WHICH WOULD PREVENT POLICE FROM RETALIATING AGAINST ANYONE IN THE COMMUNITY. THE PROPOSAL ALSO SAYS NO OFFICER WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH ANY ADVERSE CONDUCT BECAUSE OF HOW HE OR SHE EXERCISED THEIR DUTIES OR SUPPORTED A CITIZEN COMPLAINT.
BROWN SAYS APD CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE AN ANTI-RETALIATION POLICY.
