THE INDEPENDENT MONITOR OVERSEEING REFORMS AT APD IS SLAMMING THE ALBUQUERQUE POLICE DEPARTMENT’S USE-OF-FORCE TRAINING. CITY OFFICIALS CONSIDER THE TRAINING PROOF OF APD’S COMMITMENT TO REFORM. BUT THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS JAMES GINGER SAYS IT’S “INEFFECTIVE” AND CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO STAND.
USE-OF-FORCE DEALS WITH HOW POLICE RESPOND TO CITIZENS THEY ENCOUNTER ON THE JOB. GINGER TELLS THE JOURNAL APD WILL NEED TO DO ADDITIONAL TRAINING TO ADDRESS PROBLEMS WITH CURRENT TRAINING.
