| Yeah, our Eyes tell us while your eyes are closed other things are open... |
Joe Wolf was selected as APD's first civilian director of the APD Academy back July 2012. Schultz and Berry's idea was to bring a civilian with federal law enforcement training experience to help "soften" APD's basic and advanced police training. He said, “tactically it makes sense to soften (their) approach.” That meant no yelling at cadets, no D &C, no stress days, no hazing, no hell night, but lots of academics. In other words, it was an experience so unrelated to policing it must be designed to give the graduates an experience in shock and awe when they left the wading pool and went to the streets of Albuquerque. Because we all know the streets of Albuquerque are far from being stress free and safe. This has to be the idea right?
Actually, it's been a complete failure. Because for over a year, our Eyes tell us barely thirty cadets have graduated and joined the ranks of APD. Now, with a current class just a few months into their six month training, they have all but lost half the class to attrition. Many of our Eyes have speculated that perhaps there is something else going on and it has more to do with the caliber of cadets and less to do with the type of training. Or perhaps something else is going on. Maybe some sort of hook up?
Well, it seems if Director Wolf is not exactly minding his house. Well, we mean, while he is supposed to minding his training program and the cadets, he's actually more interested in APD's version of "internal affairs." Or as the disgraced former chief of APD, Ray Schultz called it, APD's secret "Nature at Play" division.
Our Eyes tell us, and we have confirmed that Director Wolf's domestic matters are in chaos as he is being sued for divorce by his spouse as stated in the 2nd District Court's docket. And that the "Nature at Play" tac-plans involved none other than an APD officer. Not that this could get any worse, but the suspected employee is one of the department's polygraphers.
So is this really the state of APD's training academy? It's director is having an affair with one of his department's lie detectors?
When Wolf came here, he stated he wanted to change APD's academy. He said, "We like to think of it now as more of a university campus than a boot camp.” Well it seems he sure did that, and immerse himself in with the co-ed activities....

He is having an affair with Mark Johnson!
Will they apply for a same sex marriage certificate?
Oh so this is why the polygraph unit was moved over under IA in the Org chart. So the Academy director is boinking the department polygrapher. How many applicants who were denied would like to know this? And it looks like Wolf has fallen into making the grade APD style. Hey shit head, I hope the ass was worth it. Lady DOJ is here and this shit foes not amuse her. Way to go Joe, way to score with the...!
Just a another saga in the ongoing story....
Bunking Bad....
Subtitled You gotta Little Blue in You.
Oh and the IA hasn't ended stupid Tasia KLINGON you stupid ugly dwarf. And here's a hint, the investigation isn't bout Joe Wolf prowling CF's fields, it's about what's going on behind frkn closed doors at the Academy and a passed off former cadet. Gee, half the class is gone. Maybe somebody saw Joe up to no good? Or is it something else. It's just screaming loud it's so obvious.
If any APOA member votes for this horrible contract you are a fool. Perry is given a 22% pay raise by Berry. The governor is talking about a 10% pay raise for teachers and all the APOA gets is a 1% now and 1.5% in another year.
Vote this down. Show Berry you will not be bullied. The APOA members in the past have paved the way, now it is up to you to show how strong our union is.
Berry is on the run. 300 fewer cops, response time are way up, Nature at Play from his apppointed Academy director, a secret IA investigation into the academy, the polygraph unit (truth unit) shown to have no ethics or morals. APOA members vote no on this contract and send a message to Berry.
Little ears tell me that the signing and the ratification of this crap contract is being fast tracked due to the bad vibes coming out of the Police Oversight Task Force. The powers that be, Stephanie and more so that nocturnal (afraid of the light of day) weasel Willoughby want it done before a new Civilian Oversight Ordinance with teeth in it is made law....
So you are all going to take it in the ass, just to cover up the BS the morons among your ranks pull.
You know, I am thoroughly convinced that the people running things in APD are nothing but a bunch of Mandela Funeral Sign Language impersonators. It looks all snazzy and high speed but under the slightest scrutiny it's nothing but a bunch of bullshit house of cards and it's all starting to crumble down.
Any applicant who has been denied a position by the Polygraph Unit, since Wolf has come to the Academy, needs to file a complaint with the Mayor's office alleging unfair conduct. How can you be denied by Polygraph (the truth unit) when the truth unit was doing what the Eye is alleging. You have a complaint.
No shit, good call above. Why would they want this contract now when the new POC isn't even in place. What rights of officers will be impacted by this new program. NO on this contract. No no no!!
I agree with all except that Berry is not on the run. Did yiu see election results. All Berry is doing is laughing, until he decides to run for higher office and then Albuquerque will haunt him.
Exactly. It's nepotism, and the City is crammed full of ppl that have been hired, promoted, not hired and not promoted based on which "pack" they run with or who they know. It is so obvious. Also retaliation is foremost when you put in for a promotion and are denied because you at one time had filed a grievance against a manager or supervisor.
I am an example of denial of promotion due to going to the union to get my OR that I worked for and was denied by library admin.
I called Deb & she made some phone calls& I had my OT in a matter of minutes.
This was OT that they had approved and then denied because my MANAGER had me fill out the WRONG FORM!!
On purpose or is the manager that stupid?????
Whole bunch of people named, "anonymous..." bunch of internet warriors we got here!
Christine Frank has no idea what she is doing. Alot of good retired 34's familys have been denied by failing them on the polygraph for no reason. From what I hear there were several with degrees and a few others who were war veterans who failed the archaich polygraph by Frank. Time to find a new and modern way of doing things. Only two states in the union except poly and NM is one of them. Time to grow up children.
Does her boyfriend Sgt Hilger know about the Wolf or are they doing it Schultzie style and just sharing?
As a retiree the all encompasing environment at APD is disgusting
Yeah, just make sure you're in line with your department's social media policy.
APD officers will approve this contract. Too many crybabies but when the shit hits the fan they will wilt....sad.
If this whole thing wasn't so sad it would be pretty damn funny and entertaining to read about.
These guys must be terminally horny and bordering on blind. I haven't seen a female APD officer yet who could score even a 25 cent tip dancing naked in any club or bar.
How is it a raise when it's something they had already took from you?
Its not a "raise" its a "reinstatement" get it straight people. The mayor and his minions know this but they also count on the intelligence level of its police force to not understand the full consequences of this, and eventually officers will just vote in favor of it. Thus making the mayor look like a hero to the citizens who have now twice elected him. This is not rocket science folks. Its politics, get used to it. Now be good police officers and go vote in favor of these pieces of silver and just go back to buying your toys and cheap women.
Ahhhhhh....you cannot make this stuff up even with an out of control wild imagination....really...like the person said earlier, this would be hillarious if it wasn't so sad....DOJ you just caught another case!!!
Mr. Mayor why do you perpetuate this behavior at APD?
Great job Berry, who else are you going to put incharge besides Schultz and Wolf who can't keep it behind the zipper?
Why would anyone want to join APD, Justice Department probe, Chief and Academy probing employees, lack of morale?
I hope RH kicked CF to the curb. She has been involved with quite a few officers since she has been with APD. RH is a decent guy he deserves better. Disgusting what goes on within APD.
Why is it the only person doing any real reporting about Berry's failure at APD is Joe Monahan? Read his blog today and he hits everything that is going on. He puts it all together and asks, Why is Berry giving Perry a 22% raise? Perry has failed at APD and in the private sector he would be fired not awarded a raise. Berry has been on the public tit for so long he doesn't remember what accountability is.
Read Monahan and The Eye, the only place for what is really going on.
How do you get served target letters one day then the next day they are told to disregard them. NO FAITH IN THIS DEPARTMENT ANYMORE!!!!!
eye you yet again are very misquided and partially informed. Wolf has been a great asset to this department and has stood up against the administration and FOR the officers. it is the administration and berry that is at fault, will the morale ever improve? i think the snake picture should be captioned "the snake who wrote the bullshit complaint and is really a chicken shit" although "the snake" at least at the audosity to write directly to the mayor, however that is her M.O., as she continues to think she is so much better than anyone else. snakes like rocks, do us all a favor and go hide under one
This is like the age old question, which came first the chicken or the egg? Maybe Christine Frank can clear up the water about this? Who was it, Wolf or Anthony Montano? I wonder how the soon to be ex Mrs. Wolf and the soon to be future Mrs. Montano feel about this????
What a joke, good to know there is lots of integrity going around the Police Academy along with Christine Frank.
Here is what will happen next. Wolf and Frank will sue APD and the city. Perry / Berry will settle and pay them thousands of our dollars.
Anyone heard from John Messimer?
Anyone hear anything else about Anthony Montano's stolen truck scam from a few years ago, "Levi Chavez style without the murder"???
Is the complaint public record? Since it went through the mayor's office? This is the transparent mayor isn't it? Let's get a copy of this complaint and see what it was all about.
Anthony Montano tell me how does the Wolf taste? Im sure your girlfriend wont see this, because everyone knows how you stalk her and control every aspect of her life.. Word has it that staff was breaking into cadet vehicles along with lots of other unprofessional acts by the staff. Who is over there in basic? Are you telling me that all of them are doing these things to the cadets??? The "I" should be reopened. How does it just go away????

And now we have retired rehires suing the city, APD and the APOA.
Good for you Albuquerque.
Ray Schultz was warned when he wanted to bring to bring back retired officers that it would cause problems. Well now you have it. Schultz was told to just include them in the regular bid, no special treatment, but NOOOOOOOOOOO Ray baby knew best. Well I hope they bring back Ray and sue him too.
A word of warning for these officers. The current administration will go after you so you better be sure you are actually working during your shift. No working out, sitting at Dee's for hours, etc.
I am waiting to see if Banks puts all of you back in FSB shagging calls after the first of the year. APD is in a manpower crisis, but how many of the rehires would go back to FSB?
I am ashamed of how the rehires have been treated and I am ashamed of how some rehires have only wanted cushy jobs. The whole thing makes me sick.
@12/13 7:28
You have to ask yourself, what is the difference between this class of cadets and previous classes, that they are dropping like flies one month into the Academy? Let me give you a clue, 60 college credit hours. These cadets realize that auto burglaries being committed by Academy staff, the hazing, etc. are "unethical" and in some cases, "illegal" so they are out of there! Who would want to work for a band of thugs? In short, it's the same BS at the Academy under the guise of a new director but still the same 'ol song. Thugs teaching future thugs. My hats off to those who had the honor and integrity to quit working for Another Pathetic Denial!
Frankly I could care less about CF. Male 34s run like dogs in heat and get praised and people here seriously are gonna unload on her? In the scheme of things who cares. It's Wolf that has show poor judgment and AM as well. People in power and authority shd not be 23ng people lower in the food chain. Bunch of fkn pedophiles.
Dear DoJ,
While you are looking into APD please take a look at Detective Kevin Morant and why the APD Command Staff protects him.
He was involved with keeping Robert Gonzales in jail for over 2 years, even though DNA cleared him of the murder within months of his arrest. Apparently Morant and others hid this information from the judge and the defense. Yet Morant (and the other APD officers involved) were not charged with a crime and they all kept their jobs. Then he was involved with the exact same thing a year later when Rowley and Lee were kept in jail for over 15 months. Even though DNA evidence cleared them of the murders they were arrested for. Once again the APD Command staff, Morant and others hid the DNA information from the court and from the defense. Yet they all kept their jobs and no charges were filed against them.
Now we have Morant keeping information secret in another murder trial. This time his actions have freed a man who probably did do a murder. Morant had the murder weapon 2 years ago and allowed it to be destroyed. Then he said nothing about it until October 2013 when in Judge Whitaker's courtroom he admitted that he did not tell the defense about the gun. Then he went on to accuse the District Attorney of telling him to lie on the stand!
Whitaker had no option but to toss the case. A murderer walks free. Morant, keeps his job. No Internal Affairs investigation, no charges. The DA's were accused of telling him to lie but no investigation there either.
Criminal Justice in Bernalillo County and Albuuquerque has fallen apart. Our only hope is the Department of Justice will right these wrongs. Please look into this.
7:28 you are what's wrong with the current state of APD. This current staff is heads and shoulders above the past groups. They aren't letting the flood of crap that have been given badges in the past to see the streets. They are doing what everyone complains about and getting rid of the problems. But now you chose to complain about the methods they use to teach valuable life lessons. A cadet leaving their car unlocked with dept property in it is not "burglary." There are transients walking through the parking lot all day to go to the crime lab to get their property and could have access to the unlocked cars. Sounds like a good teaching point to me. Last I heard push-ups and mountain climbers aren't hazing but I man sure you were one of the crack slippers that cried in your pillow ever night. Quit being the problem and work on bettering our image by what you can do by yourself. Friggin bada$$ behind your keyboard.

To,12/14 @1:52,
Good post to bad you dont know the facts!!!!When you go into someones personal items or bags, and not the dept property it's call "burglary." So next time you want to run your mouth about things on here you should really check your facts so you dont look like an ass!!!!! If you want to check on my facts, go to the academy and ask one of the staff members there. It would be a great integrity check for all. Maybe thats why the investigation is gone. What are they going to do when all the members of the Academy staff are under investigation for burglary. Media would have a field day with that!!!!
1:52 so you think its okay that Wolf who is a Commander/Director was cheating on his wife with a P1/C???? Do you not see the moral, ethical and professional problems with this??? Should't he be leading the way on ethical behavior over there at the academy. Showing the cadets what it means to be trustworthy and ethical? NOT sleeping with someone whom you supervise. Everyone in management knows that the best way to get fired is to sleep with one of your employees. Good 'ol Nature at Play. Let me guess you work at the academy??
1:52
Going into a vehicle that you do not own, whether it is unlocked or not, is auto burglary. It doesn't matter if there is city property in it. When I was at the Academy we would do a vehicle check and if we found an unlocked vehicle we would make an exampe out of that cadet, but we would not enter the cadets vehicle. WE KNEW WHAT THE LAW SAID. We wanted to lead by example.
The current staff? Plz tell me you're not taking about Banks, Page, Roseman, and Garcia. If you are you're a shit bag. Banks: fires employees w/o following sops, tapers with crimes scenes, and is a sexist pig. Page: as Ops Review lieutenant how many favors did you have to give in order to get gear? How many cops have gotten target letters bc he sits their watching lapel videos for endless stupid over sites? Roseman: seen any fellow officer's breasts to take pictures of Will? And how's that Bible on your desk doin for you? Garcia: the only married fool in APD to get busted in the stairwell at the Main with not JG. True role models of staff you got there. More like a collection of Staph bacterium.
1:52....moron. Great, car was unlocked and contained city issued gear. Did you have authorization to go in the car? Yes or no.
@1:52, you're either Montano or Corvino
Wolf should show some integrity and resign!!!! How can he lead and instill any integrity or moral confidence in the cadets, after showing none himself. He should of shown a little self control and self discipline, like he preaches to the cadets and kept his pants on. Be a man and do whats right, before the rest of the crap that's going on at the academy gets out. Because it will....
All you idiots who are complaining of staff going into unlocked cars in the academy parking lot are nothing but new generation PUSSIES!
You are the ones wrong with the department now. The new breed of officers who are scared of their shadows and shooting anything that moves. Ever notice the rehires and officers with more than 15 years on aren't involved in shootings? Your probably the same ones who got your feelings hurt when they yelled at you and made you do more than 10 push-ups as discipline in the academy.
During my academy the staff went through our cars, our lockers, and even our lunches! OMG!!!! the HORROR!!! We accepted it and learned from it! We didn't get all sad, teary eyed and sue and say its "burglary" and unfair. We wanted to be police officers who were part of the APD and didn't care about petty shit like who our academy director was sleeping with. We only cared about being proud of our profession, the uniform we wore, and citizens we protected.
Get back to basics people and do your damn jobs and let the staff run the academy and let the officers on the streets do what they do best.
As far as director Wolf i've met him on a couple occasions during MOE and he seems like a very knowledgeable man and intelligent. I heard so many rumors that he changed some things around the academy but from what I saw nothing changed(other than wearing a collered shirt in class) Imagine having to look professional at work?. Maybe someone from the staff knows more than I do because they are out there daily and i'm not, but they must not be that miserable out there because the only way they ever leave the academy is if they get promoted. Recent cases in point Ivan Varela, Shawn Lockey, and Judy Bazan.
How are sergeants Klein and Heh stirring things up? As far as Sauer goes, he he he he, well that's a conversation best for a desk top huh Ed?
Wolf needs to do everyone, the department and himself a favor and resign!!!! Its time to do the right thing and show some integrity and step down. Because of your selfish behavior you have put yourself, the staff and most important the cadets in a bad position. How can you address this current group of cadets and preach about integrity, pride, fairness, and respect knowing the current state of events??? What are you going to do when the rest of the debacle that is going on at the academy comes to light and the 5th floor and media find out??? Be the man of integrity that you said you were when you got the job. Its not about you its about the department!!!!
Ref K. Mordant post. You are correct on your assessment, however, some cases you mentioned are off just a bit. The two salesmen that were origionally charges with the Yi murders should have been sentenced to death for their role with CB. They confessed and gave specifics of the horrific crimes they were involved with. I know this because I saw the interviews. That case was turned on it's head because of KM's incompetence and negligence. CB put those two at the crime scene in a statement..however...that statement was not recorded and CB recanted a short time later because KM was not being a man of his word, so to speak. The only statement that KM had on tape was CB stating that they were not involved. This wad the "evidence" that the defense stated would clear their clients name. The DNA or lack thereof was not the overwhelming factor in their release...the DNA issue in that case was simply why was the DNA not sent in for analysis?? Had DNA been sent in in the other cases involving CB the Yi's would still be alive and so would the man that was shot in his home after the Yi homicide. The excuse homicide will give you is lack of funding. I guess I would have to ask the then homicide Sgt why he gave back $16,000 to the feds earmarked for DNA analysis?? It's a calm shame....all of it.
Joe Wolf is a liar .Joe. Wolf that I knew was a stand up family man .Beautiful kids and love young wife .Andrea if you ever read this I'm sorry for your pain .Joe, tell us What happened ? Should have stayed. at HQ...
Anthony M ..You are a terrific cop.!! Don't let Wolf drag you in on his disgusting schemes ...Support him privately if you must ,Ignore him publicly..Beg ya ...
3:26...You punk ass entitled bitch. This whole new generation doesn't know how to put in a hard day's work. They don't know how to close their mouths and open their eyes and ears to learn a thing or two. But then again, how would they? They are being taught by under 5 year FTO's. Plus the new having a degree shit is churning out book worm sissies who think "Zombies" exist. This Dept. is a circus.
Okay let's talk about worthless people and incompetent departments. A fellow 34 took a suspect to the Crime Lab to be fingerprinted and identified Saturday morning and the only person working didn't know how to fingerprint so the 34 was forced to do it as best they could. This is bullshit and unacceptable. Isn't that Eric Garcia's area? Looks like he needs to stop the brown nosing and go down there and see why his Manager Nickolas Dodge doesn't have a handle on his unit. Officers need those civilians to know their job when they need assistance. Shows every department has gone to shit, people need to get shit canned already.
He ain't friendly and he ain't my brother ...
Morant has ZERO credibility. After what happened in Whitaker's courtroom I don't think anyone believes him. But where is Banks? Accusing 2 DA's of telling you to lie should be an automatic Internal Affairs investigation. But not at APD, it is just business as usual. Banks should not be make Chief, he is not doing his job and Morant's antics in Whitaker's courtroom prove this.
The person who posted about the cadet handbook & the fact that we all have to sign it pretty much shut up that conversation. I agree with 9:41PM the officers or cadets wanting to sue and claim burglary have no place on our department.
As far as the few rehire officers who are suing because they cant transfer anywhere are worthless. I GUARANTEE any of those officers that want to transfer to the streets may do so without any fight from the fifth floor. Problem is they don't want to work the streets and be held accountable for everything they do. They are upset that they cant go from their hidden away positions into an even more hidden away position.
Banks just send all rehires to the streets and see what happens. THEY WILL QUIT! Guess what? no one will care if they quit. No one cares when anyone quits. Officers quit or retire weekly and no one even notices. We used to get a memo letting us know who quit & got hired but those lists were BANNED by top administrators when they discovered that more officers were quitting than being hired. LMFAO
Breaking news..... The polygraph test will no longer be part of the process for the academy. A test for STD's will take its place. Let's get some folks in there with true morals and ethics for crying out loud...
Polygraph is overated and I know people who were honest and failed and a few who purposely lied and passed. Go figure.
Its an old system that does not work that is why only 3 States in the USA use it.
The letter to the editor in the Journal makes a great point about polygraph and the entire recruiting system. Why isn't there an investigation into why Begaye got hired? He was into child porn before he applied and not one, not the background investigator, not the polygraph, not the shrink caught it. And Begaye is no brain surgeon. So how many really devious people have gotten hired at APD? Why is it only the field officer is second guessed on his job? Why isn't Banks investigating everything in the recruiting process and holding those people accountable?
Put a lapel camera on everyone. Time to review everyone, not just FSB.
The 34 who got stiffed on graveyard at the crime lab needs to file an IA not complain on this site.
On the Yi's homicide the DNA results got lost on Carlos Argueta's desk and the DA helped covered this information. I don't think Morant played a part in the whole mess. The stuff of Carlos got covered up.
@6:14 Begay made it in because APD needed numbers and they get money from the FEDS when they hire minorities. The more minorities the better.. Quantity not quality. Go back to the recruiting standards of thirty years ago or even farther to get the cream of the crop out there.
Handbook shmandbook, they'd never have intent.
Saw that worthless Nadine Hamby is suing the City for discrimination and disability. Bet she tried to slide into another closet and they locked her out. Talk about quantity and not quality...
Lmfao!!!! Hit that nail right on the head.

Is this the mansion?
Karma!
Nadine Hamby f/k/a Nadine Chavez was a nobody prior to APD. In fact, she was Mayor Marty's Admin Assistant on the 11th floor back in the day. Like most of you guys, you were "nobodies" and now you think your "somebody" with a piece of metal on your chest and a gun in your holster. Legends in YOUR OWN minds!
You my friend are an idiot. If you or a transient goes into a vehicle locked or unlocked, it is a burglary regardless of what's inside. The sad part is that you don't know this and you work there, teaching the law to cadets!?!?! WTF???
@12:36 pm: I know nothing about Nadine, so "no comment" there. However, the rest of your post concerning former "nobodies" who believe that they transformed into a "somebody" by being awarded a badge and a gun after passing the piddly shit "inconveniences" of their girl scout training program is totally right on! And it has become obvious that a great many really ARE "legends in their own minds", but still juvenile punks, regardless of how many birthdays they've had. The citizens of Albuq have more to fear from these trigger-happy immature morons with guns and egos the size of Siberia than from most of the criminal element here.
I don't know the specifics of what happened but there is a big difference between a transient and a staff member teaching you a lesson for leaving a car unsecured with dept property in it. A little thing called "intent." I swear some officers complain for every little thing. "Don't send crap officers out into the field", and now "don't stress the cadets by teaching them lessons." Make up your damn minds.
I do! She's a great person!
Dedicated mom.....good to her friends.
You people have bigger issues. Don't blame people from the past. Focus on the now!
