Albuquerque, NM has only one homicide detective [View all]

APD has only one homicide detective currently working on 28 homicides; and Albuquerque has 74 unsolved murders. I heard that on KOAT-TV channel #7‘s evening news today.

Shortly after that they showed a video clip of APD’s new “lowrider squad car”. It’s got fancy wheels, and the car bounces up and down as it’s driven down the street. I didn’t hear how much that car cost us.

Maybe we should have invested in at least one more homicide detective? (one homicide detective currently working on 28 homicides; and Albuquerque has 74 unsolved murders)

IIRC, correctly, there's a lot of APD induced deaths. OAITW r.2.0 Dec 2019 #1
It was likely seized through assett forfeiture.... getagrip_already Dec 2019 #2
It's a police squad car. left-of-center2012 Dec 2019 #3
so why couldn't it be a seized vehicle converted to a squad car? getagrip_already Dec 2019 #4
