BCSO/APS conflict of interest

Bernalillo County Sheriff, Darren White, is scheduled to participate in an investigation of the APS Police Department.

Concurrently, there are allegations of public corruption and criminal conspiracy in the administration of the APS Police.

However narrowly the leadership of the APS wants to narrow the focus of any "review"; it is difficult to imagine that the two investigations will coincide.

Therefore, at some point Sheriff White would be in the situation of investigating allegations that computers for which he is responsible, were used illegally by the leadership of the APS; and with his consent.

He will be investigating himself. It is a conflict of interest. He continues to refuse to acknowledge, on the record, the conflict of interest.

The Chief of the Albuquerque Police Department, is also scheduled to participate in the investigation. He also refuses to make a statement on the record about the possible illegal use of APD computers by the leadership of the APS.
