MORE LIGHTS … MORE RULES … AND MORE POLICE OFFICERS. THAT’S WHAT DOWNTOWN ALBUQUERQUE RESIDENTS SAY THEY WANT FROM THE NEXT MAYOR. DOWNTOWN CRIME HAS ESCALATED AND RESIDENTS THERE WANT THE NEXT MAYOR TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
AFTER GETTING A TOUR OF DOWNTOWN ALBUQUERQUE, KOB TV REPORTS THE CITY’S EIGHT MAYORAL CANDIDATES CHIMED IN ON WHAT COULD BE DONE. MOST REPEATED THE NEED FOR MORE APD OFFICERS … BUT ALSO SAID NEW SERVICE MODELS ARE NEEDED TO LESSEN THE STRAIN ON POLICE.
IT WAS ALSO MENTIONED BY CANDIDATE TIM KELLER THAT 28-MILLION DOLLARS GOING TOWARD A BASEBALL FIELD ON 98TH STREET COULD BE USED AT APD OR TO PROVIDE TREATMENT FOR DRUG ADDICTS AND OTHER WHO NEED TREATMENT.
