Trek knew and they lied. Notice the RRPD patch. Did they think nobody would have spotted that.
Does anyone remember a few weeks ago where Shaun Willoughby stated that the Albuquerque Police Department will take the best and brightest officers from other New Mexico police departments who do not pay competitively? WE DO. This must be what he is talking about.
It seems that either APD thinks that rehiring officers who were terminated for negligently firing their duty weapons, while impaired with alcohol is ok, or someone in background investigations at APD did not do their job.
Back in 2008 there was an incident in the SW where shots were fired and officers were dispatched. It gets a little muddy because we heard a few versions where there was and there wasn’t evidence the firearm in question was not fired. What is odd was how it was stated that it appeared to be unfired, but there were multiple gunshots in the area and no mention of the magazine count of the ammunition in the officer’s duty weapon. We are working on obtaining witness statements. Below is the criminal complaint and a link to the story.
KOAT ARTICLE ON APD ALCOHOL VIOLATIONS
For the record though, the officer, Ana Bruciaga was terminated in her probationary period for being intoxicated, and in possession of a firearm. The case was dumped for some reason after a deal was reached. Below are the case notes.
Today, our Eyes have notified us that Ana Bruciaga is now in the APD lateral hire class under the name Ana Lujan. We wonder if she gets another hiring bonus.
The irony in this is simply amazing considering the amount of officers who were railroaded, and plowed under over the years, for doing their jobs while actually on duty. This is yet again another example of how poor behavior is constantly rewarded.
Mrs. Lujan is a lateral from Rio Rancho PD where she has been working as a police officer since receiving a slap on the wrist for her actions in 08.
Is this how bad it is now? Someone needs to widen minds around here on the fact that candidates and potential lateral officers know what a shit hole whore house APD has become. They know who is still there and they are not going to risk their lives taking employment where inmates are running the asylum.
Chief Geiger can only do so much with complete idiots below him and an administration above him saddling him with political hacks.
It is not about the money folks. Get it through your heads. No officer wants to work with imbeciles or better yet, imbecile who are protected, rewarded, and promoted to be their supervisor. That is a fact.
It is going to be a long road to fixing things here if this is going to continue. And if the administration is going to do this, they need to audit all of the terminations since.
Now... on the lighter side, we were told that jelly donut that the mayor hired as the deputy chief Harold Medina, recently attended a community meeting and the citizens had two complaints. One... he was so fat... and two... they didn’t even know if he was a man or a woman.
HA HA HA... JUST HA HA HA... NOW THAT IS FUNNY!

I am the only one that thinks APO President Sean Wlloubeast is the long lost twin and separated at birth with Chumlly from PAWN STARS? Both are thick, slow, talk the same way and contributed little to the programs.
So if Ana "left" in 2008 and went to Rio Rancho wasn't Gier there during her tenure? When did she come back to APD? And more importantly why is she still here? Even if she became Lujan did her fingerprints change too?LMFAO Best and Brightest my ass! Like you said eye ,the good cops get railroded while the shitbags never leave. They just keep giving head
Chief Geier LMFAO Who has worked with LMFAO and believed his is a leader. NOT ME
and Richard Locke gets arrested for shoplifting? wow, just wow.
If APD allows that piece of shit criminal Bruciaga to remain on the department then nothing will change. It's back to quantity over quality. How the hell did her recruiter miss something so blatant? There is no way she filled out her application truthfully. Get rid of her before she kills someone and we citizens end up pic.king up the tab.
WTF? Doyle & Woolever were thrown under a bus and fired for a hell of a lot less. They had all the probable cause to believe their lives were in danger to warrant shooting the prick but they took a career criminal into custody with him only receiving a bump on his head. APD is a barrel of monkeys.
And that's exactly what everyone knew would happen when the new Mayor brought back 3 men that had ties to the previous leadership at APD. Business as usual. There are acts that if committed by officers at APD should not be excused and this is definitely one of them. Firing your weapon while drunk is definitely one of them. I don't care if it was dismissed or not. Fact is, everyone knows what happened. If this officer has to use her weapon again in the future the city is automatically going pay another 20 mil. Definitely not worth my tax dollars. No matter how low the numbers, APD can not afford to start acting recklessly. By the way, shouldn't the Mayor be in the process of that nation wide search for a new chief. Its pretty obvious this temp chief isn't going to work out.
if you have lived in Albuquerque for anytime, Just ask yourself is ABQ a better place today then 5 yrs ago? 10 yrs ago? 15 yrs ago?
Then why do you still live there? It's never going to change.
Your not taking any from NMSP bucko, we're like a family of marines. Good luck Geier, hope you can clean the Depts.image up.⭐⭐⭐👍
crickets
I believe he changed he is in the process of changing his drivers license to read "Gender Neutral"...... that is what too many donuts and no exercise will get you.... is he even capable of removing his handgun from his holster? Re-retire and go back to Laguna Funky Fat Medina!
Medina-Grier-Garcia--Who ever is running APD not sure who it is but your threats don't scare us. Guess you don't remember we get threatened every day on the street by real criminal. Go ahead threaten us with discipline just like Schultz did and what did that get; can you say DOJ. Threats and intimidation don't work how about RESPECT and earning RESPECT then 34s wont fuck up. Lets try something new at APD---RESPECT. Fuck all of you on the 5th floor and Commanders for telling us in briefing shit like "I'm here to clean this place up." Look in you're own back yard Donnie.
Keller I know you read this blog take a look at the armed robbery unit those boys are a lil outta control. You guys finish you race or triathlon or whatever it was when you had no one on call. Why did we promote your Sgt and put her right back in the same unit. No wonder there wasn't anyone on call.
I WILL vote NO for the food tax to help fund LE. Wow Schultz lives in luxury and Hector said he would look into the contract with Schultz-City-and nothing. The only wheel that got greased was Schultz bank account and if the current administration thinks people are gonna say YES I think they are in for a surprise.
Medina quick to say they will discipline anyone for SOP violation, Schultz JR, and now they want us to pay extra tax for food which is a necessity. Fuck you the COA and the APOA. No way.
It is sad how little has changed since the new leadership has arrived. The cities fART project seems to be a total soupsandwhich and not even speaking of the police department. In the NW we have a useless commander alleging to "bring back the good oll day" when he cant even get the substation repaired. The NW commander is a classic example of leading from the rear and making big speaches especially at community meetings. But when it comes to badly needed overtime officers to help out due to SHORT manning levels he makes his own rules. I bet that commander is to scared to go to calls because he would see how hard it is to be a 34 these days and all the requirements.
Maybe you shd quit sleeping with cop’s wives Pat....
So who is the guy Malecki jumped? Could he be the wife's boy toy on the side?
What's the matter Willowboy? Is Malecki buying you silence with some of that free vacation pay?
EYE PLEASE GET IT OUT THAT THE MAYOR’S OFFICE WANTS APD TO HAVE REMOTE ACCESS OF OFFICERS BODY CAMERAS. IN REAL TIME THEY EANT TO BE ABLE TO TURN ACAMERAS ON ANS MONITOR A GIVEN OFFICERS ACTION WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE. THE APOA KNOWS THIS AND ISNT DOING ANYTHING.
Hey I know how to help APD and don't even need NY 82. Medina and Geier stop being Schultz JR and playing the good ol boy system. Place Detectives who want to work in your important positions not your bros. Lets start with Robbery bunch of clowns.
Get rid of the civilian FI clowns who do one call a day.
The mayor??? What a joke. Remember, if a politician's mouth is moving he/she is LYING! A politician will say or do ANYTHING to get elected and have power. The same goes for all of their political appointees. New Mexico is a cauldron of simmering corruption!
Who were the 34's that were with Bruciaga at the bar downtown when the 10-15 started with her boyfriend, then at his house in westgate? Fellow 34's and supervisor. The negligent use was only after the downtown incident and whatever else happened at his house. She was 16ed and then terminated as a probationary later that morning with no need for IA. And now she's back, disgraceful!
Hello,
I am currently a police officer in a rather large midwestern city. I was thinking of relocating to the SW due to the nice weather. Our department had a brochure from APD in our headquarters, and on the surface it looks appealing. However, after doing some research what you have there is a prosecutable mess, and a state government that is permitting it. I spent 4 years active duty with some really good MP’s who were also thinking about applying, and the general consensus is that taking employment with your agency would be suicidal, not only to us but to our families also. Your department is famous for eating your own. I would never move my family to a place where I had to work with criminals like this and worry about the officer or supervisor next to me attempting to destroy my life and leave my family in your crumbling state to fend for themselves.
I happened to stumble on this site when I googled New Mexico police departments and recruiting. After finding APD, which is apparently the largest police department in the state, I then googled it. What I found is past amazing. How can all of this be going on without charges of public corruption against these officials or someone just getting fed up and turning into an active shooter? After looking into APD, I further searched police departments in this state. This conduct goes on at various levels statewide. This is sad.
In my state we have a Police Officer Certification Commission. They are the most well respected and fair police commanders through out the state. This would never fly their. Our commission would never permit the political targeting or ruination of our officers as goes on in your state. There are checks and balances to keep the back door politics and favors from happening and our labor laws would never permit such blatant disregard for the rights of good officers.
I decided to comment out of appreciation for such a blunt and to the point source for inside information on what is going on, because not knowing what I found here could have ruined my life had I taken my wife and children there. Thank you for that. This blog is obviously doing a service. I will be letting my co-workers know about this. It really is hard to believe all of this is going on in a city in the United States without any accountability. Sad really.
New Mexico may be a pretty place but it is obviously not a good place to be a police officer or travel through without fear of being robbed. It is a shame when you can not count on your own leadership for support, and that bad feeling of always having to watch your back is so prevalent and systemic.
Good Luck to all of you, and may you get out of there before you get killed, or have to kill someone for trying to hurt you.
Stay Safe.
Looking for a good department to work for? Phoenix is hiring.
Mountainair PD is hiring. It's a rustic little town in the Manzano Mountains.
Ana Lujan LMFAO!!! Another SFA playing cop who's only purpose in a department is to service the men.
Boy, a lot of bitterness in this town. Nothing else to do I suppose.
