ALBUQUERQUE MAYOR BERRY AND APD CHIEF GORDEN EDEN ARE IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, WHERE THEY START TRAINING SESSIONS TUESDAY ON HOW THE LAS VEGAS P-D DEALS WITH USE OF FORCE CASES AND HOW IT TURNED ITS DEPARTMENT AROUND AFTER A SERIES OF OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTINGS. THE TRAINING SESSIONS WILL ALSO DETAIL HOW LAS VEGAS HIRES AND TRAINS ITS OFFICERS.
THE LAS VEGAS POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT INVESTIGATED BY THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT'S CIVIL RIGHTS DIVISION AS APD WAS. ALBUQUERQUE AND THE DOJ ARE NOW FINALIZING A PLAN TO REFORM THE DEPARTMENT AFTER THE DOJ ISSUED A HARSH REPORT ON APD EARLIER THIS YEAR.
