LAW ENFORCEMENT AND PROSECUTORS IN THE ALBUQUERQUE AREA HOPE THAT BETTER INFORMATION-SHARING WILL DRIVE DOWN THE CITY’S HIGH CRIME RATE. MAYOR R-J BERRY SAYS THERE’S A NEW INITIATIVE NOW UNDERWAY TO DEAL WITH THE METRO AREA’S WORST REPEAT OFFENDERS. HE SAYS A SMALL NUMBER OF PEOPLE DO A LOT OF HARM AND IT’LL DEPEND ON GATHERING A INFORMATION IN THE COMMUNITY AND SHARING TO BRING REPEAT OFFENDERS IN.
THE MAYOR SAYS A NEW MULTI-AGENCY TEAM WILL HELP IDENTIFY SERIOUS REPEAT OFFENDERS, BASED ON THEIR HISTORY OF FELONY ARRESTS…AND THE TYPE OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY THEY ENGAGE IN.
