APD AND THE U-S JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AGREE TO AGREE ON REFORMS WITHIN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. BUT SOME ARE STILL CRITICAL OF ALBUQUERQUE'S POLICE DEPARTMENT HANGING ONTO COMMAND STAFF WHO OVERSAW SOME OF APD'S TROUBLED UNITS.
CONGRESSWOMAN MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM SAYS APD IS SIMPLY REASSIGNING THOSE COMMANDERS … AND SAYS IT MEANS SOME OF THE SAME PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEPARTMENT'S CULTURE THAT VIOLATED CIVIL RIGHTS ARE STILL ON THE JOB WITHOUT BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT MANDATES THAT APD CHANGE MANY OF ITS USE-OF-FORCE AND TRAINING POLICIES.
