THE FAILURE OF A “RETURN TO WORK” BILL AT THE LEGISLATURE THAT JUST ENDED HAS ABQ MAYOR BERRY CONSIDERING BONUSES FOR APD OFFICERS. HE SAYS IT’S ONE WAY TO PERSUADE THOSE OFFICERS WHO WANT TO LEAVE THE DEPARTMENT TO STAY.
BERRY SAYS THE “RIGHT TO WORK” BILL WAS MEANT TO ALLOW RETIRED OFFICERS TO RETURN TO WORK AT APD WITHOUT LOSING RETIREMENT BENEFITS. THE ABQ JOURNAL REPORTS APD IS DOWN TO 814 OFFICERS … AND IS ALLOWED TO HAVE 11-HUNDRED.
