Bernalillo County (NM) Sheriff responds after city councilor calls him out
Albuquerque City Councilor Pat Davis recently fired off a letter to the local newspaper saying if Sheriff Manny Gonzales wants to help fight crime in the city, he needs to straighten up his department first.
Davis goes onto say if the sheriff wants to help tackle Albuquerque’s crime problems, his deputies should play by APD’s rules, which changed after the Department of Justice got here.
“They’re replicating all those bad policies like their chase policy, shooting policy, not wearing cameras, just the basics of how we ensure transparency and accountability,” Davis said.
(Sheriff Gonzales has said repeatedly that he will not allow his deputies to wear body cameras because they would make his deputies ‘look bad’)
