Governor Richardson has decided that the agenda for the upcoming legislative session will not include any discussion of creating an APS Police Department.
The most tragic result of his decision is that the APS Police force will remain accountable to the leadership of the APS. And to no one else.
Although police officers are sworn deputies of Darren White, the APS police force is unaccountable as a police force, except to Paula Maes/Modrall, et al.
- They are certificated by no one.
- They are certified by no one.
- They are accredited by no one.
They are a publicly funded, private police force.
They are accountable as a police force to no one
but the leadership of the APS.
The Council of the Great City Schools said;
DO NOT DO THIS
They are a Praetorian Guard.
At least if they were a real police force, maybe
the FBI would ask them to explain how they came
to be running illegal criminal background checks on
administrator's girlfriends and whistle blowers,
on Bernalillo County Sheriff Darren White's
highly sophisticated and secure(?)
criminal information and data systems.
To the many fine members of the APS Police Force;
this allegation does not involve decision making
at the level of your valuable and under appreciated
public service. Please take no personal offense
as none is intended.
