ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCILOR DIANE GIBSON ISN’T HAPPY WITH THE PACE OF REFORM AT THE ALBUQUERQUE POLICE DEPARTMENT. LAST WEEK SHE INTRODUCED LEGISLATION THAT WOULD WITHHOLD RETENTION PAY AND RAISES FOR SOME AREA COMMAND OFFICERS.
IT WOULD ALSO REQUIRE THE DEPARTMENT TO APPOINT ONE PERSON WHOSE JOB IT WOULD BE TO REPORT TO THE COUNCIL AT EVERY MEETING. GIBSON SAYS THEY NEED SOMEONE WHO WILL MANAGE THE PROCESS GOING FORWARD.
HER LEGISLATION COULD GO TO A COUNCIL COMMITTEE TODAY(MON), AND IF PASSED, ON TO THE FULL COUNCIL WITHIN A MONTH.
