APS Police leadership; the gang that can't shoot straight?

APS Police officers, because they carry guns, have to be able to shoot them; accurately.  Every year, they, like any other police officer authorized to carry a gun, must "re-qualify".

I am told that in the past, the leadership of the APS went together to a private shooting range to witness each others' qualification.  I am told they didn't all shoot as well as they reported they had.

Now enter the Bernalillo County Sheriff  Dan Houston.  He has decided apparently, that qualifications for APS Police officers including the highest ranking of them, will be shot under the watchful eye of deputy sheriffs who would be less likely to cut any slack to high ranking APS police.

I am told a senior APS police officer, based on his failure to qualify, is now dressed in civies and without a gun.

The problem is not their failure to qualify.

The problem is the difficulty that an average citizen will have in trying to get a look at the public records of the qualification shoots.  I have asked for those records but hold little hope that they will ever be produced.

It's just not the way they roll.
