An Albuquerque police officer fatally shoots a judge’s daughter, adding momentum to criticism of the Albuquerque Police Department’s history of excessive and deadly force.The abnormally high number of police shootings in Albuquerque has drawn nationwide attention, leading to condemnation of the police officers involved. While the police involved in these shootings are, obviously, a part of the problem, there is another piece of the puzzle that must be addressed to wit; the unnecessary and increasing number of officer involved use of deadly force is on the rise on a national scale. The investigations of these events are rather perfunctory and the limited information provided by the state of New Mexico reveals that their training of police officers totals 657 hours, a very small number to say the least. To put this in terms that people may understand a little better, that is half the amount of hours of training that a paramedic in New Mexico is required to undergo. In addition, there are no mandatory psychological evaluations of police officers during their training, before they are employed, or continuing throughout their career. We can think of no other professions that allow the taking of a life that do not require mandatory follow up or recertification. |
