Nowhere in this report is APS' entire "wish list"

I responded to a Journal article on APS' legislative wish list.  This post represents an expanded version.



The failure to provide even a link to the list in its entirety, is symptomatic of the lack of candor and forthrightness that pervades the APS/Journal and stakeholder relationship.

The leadership of the APS tries regularly; to get the legislature to legitimize APS’ publicly funded private police force.

They need to become a legitimate police department in order to get out from under the MOU with the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office.

The Memorandum of Understanding prohibits the leadership of the APS and their police force from investigating felonies. They are required to surrender evidence and investigations to either APD or the BCSO. (Perhaps others, I don’t know; it’s irrelevant)

The restriction, on the commissioning of APS police officers by the BCSO, became necessary when, in the mid-2000s, the APS police investigated their own felony public corruption and then hid all the testimony and evidence from legitimate law enforcement agencies including the District Attorney.

Their cover up continues to this day. It is underwritten in meetings in secret where the operational fund and the public trust are squandered on lawyers, litigation and legal weaselry in their so far successful effort to keep the relevant public records secret from public knowledge.

The records you’re looking for are; any that demonstrate that the leadership of the APS ever turned over to any legitimate law enforcement agency, the entirety of evidence and testimony of felony criminal misconduct involving senior APS administrators.

A problem the Journal knows about; has known about all along; and relentlessly refuses to expose.
