IT’S CALLED THE “ANALYSIS LED RECIDIVISM TEAM”, OR “ALERT.” IT BRINGS TOGETHER VARIOUS LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND PROSECUTORS TO TARGET REPEAT OFFENDERS. NOW, ALBUQUERQUE MAYOR R-J BERRY SAYS THE NEW MEXICO STATE POLICE AND THE CORRECTIONS DEPARTMENT ARE JOINING THE TEAM.
SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE “ALERT” PROGRAM, 22 IDENTIFIED OFFENDERS HAVE BEEN ARRESTED IN BERNALILLO COUNTY. IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS, THREE “ALERT” OFFENDERS HAVE BEEN SENTENCED TO LENGTHY PRISON TERMS.
