ALBUQUERQUE POLICE HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY IN RECENT WEEKS … AND MANY OF THEIR CALLS ON A DAILY BASIS WERE MURDERS. APD SPOKESMAN OFFICER SIMON DROBIK TELLS US THESE HIGH PRIORITY CALLS TAKE A LOT OF TIME TO INVESTIGATE. HE SAYS THAT INCLUDES MURDERS, FATAL ACCIDENTS AND SWAT CALLS. HE SAYS THEY PULL OFFICERS FROM OTHER AREA COMMANDS TO TAKE ON THESE CASES.
DROBIK SAYS PEOPLE WHO CALL 911 WITH LOW PRIORITY CALLS HAVE BEEN VERY UNDERSTANDING WHEN OFFICERS DON’T ARRIVE RIGHT AWAY. DROBIK SAYS PEOPLE KNOW HOW BADLY APD IS UNDERSTAFFED.
