Poor decisions, and a culture of cloned mentalities have cemented the Albuquerque Police Department into its downward slide down the slippery slope it is going down.
The current I.A. on I.A. scandal that broke last week has apparently caused a ripple effect through the city administration, and the talk around the water cooler is how this is going to cause some very very serious problems, not only for the City’s compliance with the DOJ consent decree, but for the mayor in the fact that it could make him a one term mayor.
Our Eyes are telling us that there are some very nervous APD 5th floor inhabitants. What are they nervous about? We will tell you.
The brass is very nervous that there have been a host of I.A. cases, where certain people were protected, while others were framed, and that there may be dozens of cases tampered with in the same way that were alleged in the recent case that now has everyone’s ass up in the air. Talk is that they fear an audit. Fear may not be the right word. Terrified may be a better word.
We all know that Bernalillo County District Attorney Raul Torrez can’t prosecute a ham sandwich. We also believe in our opinion, he is full of shit, and compromised, after having to listen to his lie about how the DUI case of the Governor’s buddy wasn’t compromised by a guy in his office who had a conflict of interest having a say in things when it was. It wasn’t a coincidence that he got his millions of state funding from the Governor after taking care of her boy. We all know Torrez won’t prosecute anything even close to being a political hot potato. That being said, there probably will be no criminal procedures. Hell... the James Geha APD timesheet fraud case that the state police put together is still sitting on the DA’s desk. In New Mexico, it’s not unbelievable that a case would be thrown so a politician can get six million dollars in funding so he can look good. This whole city paid the price so a bunch of corrupt criminals could look good for the last 8 years. For sure, Torres will be a one term District Attorney if the more experienced, competent and ballsey Ahmad Assed runs for DA.
Since politicians have no problem throwing people under the bus when they need to, the only conclusion is that they are sitting on this fiasco, because all of them are going to get a portion of shit on their faces when it all comes out. You see, nobody wants to look bad, but nobody wants to be connected to actions in direct contravention to what they have said they have been doing for almost a year. Hypocrisy is acceptable.
If it comes out that APD Internal Affairs has been tampering with cases for the last decade, like we here at the Eye know they have, the problems for this administration will be insurmountable, and you just might as well tack on another few more years of Federal monitoring. That is going to cost millions. That’s just the tip of the iceberg when you look at some of the treacherous things that were done to people by Internal Affairs, and what a massive class action would do to the city’s bank account.
As if all of this wasn’t enough, Mike Miller was promoted to commander, and sent to Internal Affairs to replace the Commander now under investigation. Miller was the Lieutenant of I.A. the whole time Ray Schultz framed every cop he could to deflect the DOJ, and no doubt knows where the bodies are buried. Miller reported right to Schultz, and was aware of the tampering with of cases by the City Attorney’s office, but he is right back in Internal Affairs. After this administration has been brow beaten about retaining people who were connected to the last administration, and knew about the wrongdoings, but didn’t speak out, they put this dirt doer right back into the driver’s seat. They might as well get him and Ray on the cell phone family plan.
Poor Decisions to keep crud in place has positioned this city for more decline. We told you so.
If the mayor does not remove the 5th floor and a bunch of others, when the other shoe drops, it will be one term for him. The city will lose millions more in tax payers money and the City Attorney’s office will need to be tripled. No, the last two will happen anyway.
Hiding the truth, and allowing crimes to occur, then be swept under the rug in this environment in order to avoid a publicity hit is reprehensible. It is not what we here at the Eye endorse.
Looking back at this article, it is more of the same that we have been saying since just before the DOJ came here. That is sad because nothing has changed and nobody has been punished.
That means nobody is listening and nobody is doing their job. Sad vile and enraging.
Cheers,
The Eye

The city has full confidence in commander Miller has great leadership skills and will do fact based investigations and will go where the evidence and facts suggest not based on politics or anything else the city and department are committed to ensuring all employees are treated equally the city welcomes all diverse points of view from our wide range of assorted hard working employees its very important to be aware that just because a employee is the subject of an internal affairs inquiry they are not presumed guilty all the facts will be collected and it will go up the chain of command and a final determination will be made by the command staff of the department along with consultation from the city attorney and chief administrative officer of the city
chief Geier and deputy chiefs Gonzalez Banez Garcia and medina are doing a great job can anyone please explain to me what you all want them to do? please I don't understand you guys are never happy you all need to understand no chief and under staff are perfect we all make mistakes we cant always get what we want we all have to just move on and do the best we can so Airas got special treatment from Garcia and sanchez we all know he must have had a reason to pull his firearm in public I don't think anyone really thinks he would put other officers and citizens in jeopardy if he did not if he did something lets see the evidence
July 19 9:37,
Give me a fucking break pal. Nicely said from someone who is no doubt “getting what THEY want.” Go fuck yourself. This right here is the problem. You are sure that this Arias had a reason to pull his gun on someone inside a police gun lockup room? Do tell us how you are sure of that. Tell us how he was justified, when nobody will talk about it, and Art Sanchez was sent over there to get the video of the event that happened in a room that only cops are ALLOWED in? That room has controlled access and cameras all over it. Explain what justification there is for pulling a gun on another cop, if that is what went down, and explain why he was booted out of Swat if he is such a stellar guy. The same old shit is going on, and I personally will not stop letting people know about it. Go fuck yourself with that “best you can do” bullshit, because that is all it is, bullshit. Plenty of people are suffering because of deliberate shit that was done. Tell your idols to step the fuck up with a pair of balls and admit what is going on instead of protecting shit bags. I guess assuming nothing happened is the best you can do. And I guess everyone should just move on when one of these assholes fucks up because they are connected. As far as I am concerned, none of the deputies belong where they are and Geier can’t make a fucking decision until the administration approves it. If everything is so justified and nothing happened then why am I hearing otherwise and why was someone suspended for 5 weeks? Maybe you know something about that?
All of your shit is going to be audited and the things done over the years need to be righted, regardless of how popular it is for someone’s political agenda. Good people are screwed and shitheads were protected. If that is not done then we will see how it looks when it gets out that a political figure rolled his fucking car over drunk when he was a teenager. The pretentious bullshit is getting old. I hope Keller is reading this because he needs to be. I am going to keep talking until the worlds of these dirtbags falls apart. They had their chance to stand up under Schultz but they sat silent like little cunts FOR MONEY. THATS RIGHT, MONEY.
Is pretty obvious that this site has people reading it who have their opinion. Interesting that the chorus for "can't we all just work together" spoke first. It seems that this is pretty much the same group that put this force into the tail spin that is has been in since Schultz. Issue also seems to be why doesn't new hierarchy recognize and change things? Those doing the job always know what the problems and bottlenecks are. May not say so delicately but they know. City has no choice but to pay attention. That is why the rah rah? Keep on digging but state what the situation is.....Clearly! Quit giving the admin time to cover up.
Will someone please fill the rest of us in on what Commander Jennifer Garcia did, and why is she being allowed to stay on as a Commander?
Can the Eye and Stealth disclose specifics on IA tampering.with cases for the last decade, otherwise it does sure sound like the Eye and Stealth got their little “pee pees” slap by IA for bad conduchemselves. The beaty being anonymous is not being identified as a bad cop and that you were fired, demoted or disciplined yourselves for your incompetence. Keep grinding that axe boys.
Every 34 who successfully completed the APD should drop in on the lateral testing and you will be sick to your stomach. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the laterals have been rejected from APD prior and applied to other Depts. I saw a few that easily weighed over 300 lbs and maybe wont even fit into a patrol unit. This lateral and political promises make me sick as the APD is recovering from the Schultz era and that means Garcia both Jen and Eric need to GO. We have Medina who was so far up Schultz ass neither one could fart. Anyone remember when he was in charge of SWAT? No leadership and can't tell his left from his right. That's our new leadership?
9:46 regarding mojo. Your racism and jeolousy is so blantant. More people have died green of envy than of cancer and it sure does look like your on life support.
0937...OMG how pathetic. Let's just analyze for a minute...
Geier--completely corrupt. Left RRPD in lieu of termination. So far, all he's done is show his only loyalty is the little shitstain mizel--whos not even qualified to be a sergeant, much less commander. Geier has zero ethics or knowledge, truly a waste.
Medina--his only goal is to be chief someday and hook up his buddies (Art Sanchez, Josh Brown). He will do and say whatever it takes to save his (and their asses). This is why Art is being protected. Remember everyone, there's a reason he was never promoted the first time around.
Banez--drunk wife-beater (yup Roger we know your dirty secrets)..he's not qualified to be a sergeant.
Gonzalez/Garcia--I don't think theyre even dc's anymore. Medina is running apd.
lets look at some others shall we...
Mizel--his only, only qualification is that he's Geier's best friend. literally has done nothing his entire career.
Art sanchez- got gifted a commander promotion and swat, just because he's Medina friend. Probably too dumb to even understand that getting your sancha (jenn Garcia) to delete a tape is criminal--look up tampering with evidence art, between you and Harold surely you can figure it out.
Jen Garcia- just too easy, let see...zero resume, zero ethics, zero qualifications.
JJ--probably the most hated commander in APD History. just look at SE, no one bids there. I wouldn't
Campbell--lets not forget shes the one whos been covering for Arias for years, in and out of bed.
I can go on forever. This is by far, the most corrupt admin APD has ever had.
I now know you can’t throw a stone without hitting a dirt bag in APD. It is a shame for the good ones. I saw that Facebook post that turned into a news story the other day and was like cool. Yea, cool until I found out who it was. Nick Wheker. The same Nick Wheeler that was in the middle of the Tera Chavez murder case. The same Nick Wheeler who testified in that case about how he slept with Chavez while he cheated on his wife and knew he was with another cops wife. The sand Wheeler who brought disrepute and disgust to APD. The same Wheeler who kick that girl to the curb like trash when he was done with her.
I am really tired of these scum bags and their pretentious bullshit. It is stomach turning. If my kid was playing by himself and I say that dirtbag near him I’d make sure he didn’t come near my kid again and I am sure if many others knew the truth they would feel the same way.
It is obvious that there are barely any good ones left and this administration will have to continue to cover for what they have making it worse. The pretentiousness is getting really cheesy and obvious.
And what is going on with the Commander Garcia Investigation? Did Steve Arias get investigated for pulling a gun on an officer at metro court? And what... did his sugar daddy Ken Sanchez get in the middle of this AGAIN to bail this little psycho out? Is this what Jennifer Garcia is in trouble for fading? And Art Sanchez, where is that video you picked up from metro court.
It is all getting very old. Nothing will get fixed and all Keller will do is spin everything like Berry did and take advantage of the photo ops. They are hiding this Garcia incident and they have told everyone it is hands off and do not even think about it. That came from the top. She will even be on the promotions assessment panel choosing who should move forward. Talk about hypocrisy.
The commanders are all getting fed up of Geier too. He brought his hatchet man and number two guy from Rio Rancho like this is some kind of good fellas crap. They are threatening the command staff to improve or they will get rid of them. That would be fine if it was for the right reasons but all we have now are a bunch of fakes who are trying to make themselves look good with their smoke mirrors and threats. This is all the same old. You can’t make a cake out of a bag of shit.
The independent newspapers need to get on this ASAP because the case that Garcia was hit with spills over into a bunch of other ones and they are scared shitless it is going to dominoe affect. Keller’s peole are acting just as bad as the Berry administration with how they are intimidating everyone into keeping their mouths shut about it.
They are worried the DOJ will get ahold of this and it will be the last straw that causes indictments that gets some serious egg on the new administration’s faces. Keller and his people are more concerned with the fallout and their supporters turning on them than getting the corruption cleared out and they consider the risk of keeping a lid on this worth the expense of not being able to be transparent. This is all from the inside.
Mayor Keller, I hope you or someone close to you is reading this blog. I admit, I thought Geier was a good choice too. But, it's become painfully obvious he's just more of same. The good ol boy system is alive and well, it's just a new set of friends being covered for. If you're smart you will fire him, the rest of the 5th, and corrupt command staff ASAP. We the citizens will understand, in fact we'd appreciate a mayor finally holding apd accountable. This might actually be worse than Eden/Huntsman, n you see where Berrys political career ended up. I voted for you, please don't make me regret it.
4:07,
Lmao. I just call it like it is and the truth must hurt. Rung a bell huh? This little asshole was a clown in the academy from his parents shining his boots and doing his laundry to looking like a little girl in boxing. He got his ass whipped. That is probably why he shocked that 10-40 to death with a taser. Of course Schultz covered that because of his connections. This is the root reason why the department is shit. It is pathetic that you have to take off work for a year to run someone’s mayoral campaign to get something instead of working for it. Keller promoted this little punk as a favor and that is a fact. This baby mijo cried every day after Keller was elected saying how he was supposed to get promoted as a favor because Brian Colon told Keller to promote him. What kind of shameless little whore phone banks for the other mayor candidate after talking trash about him to everyone then losing it and writing a letter to the newspaper because the APOA wouldn’t support Colon? Immediately after that he jumps right on Keller’s dick showing up at his inauguration making a pathetic disgusting spectacle of himself. You are nothing but a slimy little worm when you have to slither like that to get what you want. It’s like having cum all over your face. Do me a favor and wipe the cum from his face. APD is now shit and it will be getting shittier and shittier with the legions of these bottom feeders being pushed up the rungs. For your information there are people who know the back story and real shit going on.
Where in my post does racism come in? On yea, that’s right you’re one of those millennials who live on Facebook and who’s parents told you how perfect and great you were while doing everything for you. Let’s see how much more you can cry and make shit up because the truth hurts. You and your punk wouldn’t know a hard days work if it smacked you in your mouth. Keep at all that pretentious fraud because that shit takes work. The rest of us will just enjoy life truthfully not having to pretend. See ya sissy.
"Keller and Geier must be meeting daily with Berry and Eden to get lessons on how to screw the public and act like asses."
https://www.abqreport.com/single-post/2018/07/25/Keller-Geier-Stonewalling-on-Internal-Affairs-Head-Probe
I still don't get it. Everyone keeps saying "give Geier a chance" he had his chance. He spent over 15 years in a supervisory position and did absolutely nothing to change the culture of APD. Then just because they start paying him 40 thousand more year and surround him with more idiots they expect him to fix the wrong that he and others created. Eden was a nice guy but had no clue what he was doing, his major downfall was bringing in Huntsman. Geier has the experience and ego to really cause some damage. Look out for a ton of lawsuits and negative media stories. Sad.
Very suspicious that all of these Commanders are being forced to resign but the one that seems to be getting no air time is Campbell. We all know how she got promoted. Jumped on the little crazy SWAT boy until his daddy pulled a favor. Past behavior has to count for something and hiding out making the Lts and Sgts do all the work should not protect her when something goes bad. If Geier's intent is to rid the department of all the bad apples then he needs to stop turning a blind eye and truly do his job. Stop turning a blind eye to your puppets and do your damn job. Yes Mizel, that includes you.
Since when does a few years with po-dunk departments in Oklahoma and Bosque Farms with a few years running a small academy make you qualified to run a Metro Police Academy. This has politics written all over it. And that statement of getting officers to get more in line with their community and less concerned with chasing bad guys made me sick. If we don't chase bad guys who in the hell is going to? While officers are being trained to attend neighborhood meetings and sit there and talk with block captains, Crime is going to sky rocket. Who is running this circus? I though geier was brought in to fix this crap, but with this move its obvious its just more of the same.
Its obvious that the majority of all crime is being committed by people on drugs. I know...DUH....The last three major high profile child abuse cases have all revolved around drugs. So, here's an idea. Geier lets get Mizel off your lap and lets change the way you are doing things. Get rid of the culture of APD Narcs just sitting around shooting the shit all day, having 6 lunches a day, and doing side jobs on the company dime. Let get back out there and start working. Another example of promoting guys who spent the majority of their careers creating the problems we are now facing. Your not off to a very good start Geier. Lets hope you either regroup or the mayor wises up and realizes he made a mistake and needs to look outside.
Not a huge Sullivan fan but Ive gotta believe him on this one. What he is saying is true, having been through the academy and then teaching there, it is true that the Cadets are given all of the answers. Especially when the goal is to make sure they are trying to increase the numbers on the department. Just funny how Geier and his staff are trying to promote change and transparency then get rid of someone who is trying to do the right thing. Again Ive seen Sullivan do some shady stuff throughout the years but he was promoted by his boy Garcia knowing that. You cant just fire someone when there are bigger fish to fry, including 2 of the DCs. I hope Sullivan sues the shit out of them to just to prove a point.
So let me get this right. You have a person who doesn't have enough time in law enforcement to even qualify to be a Sergeant on APD and they are promoting her to Commander. Didn't Geier get rid of Tyler when he first came on. Dont really see the difference. Can someone fill me in on the political ties to this decision cause I must be missing something.
July 25 9:35 PM,
There is much disappointment in life, but blaming a blog for what criminals like Schultz and gang have put in motion and what others have enabled or caved and bought into shows your intelligence level. Another less flattering characteristic of your “you fucks” comment is the action of assumption. Your assumption of others who are retired, or not involved with this mess, because they have moved, on really makes a jackhole out of you. As things progress, you will enjoy what was set in motion by this blog, and you will see that those making poor decisions were never really in the control they thought they were. They were given the rope they needed. The one true test of integrity is doing the right thing when you think nobody is looking. We enjoy nothing more than destroying the fraudulent, even if it means giving them the stage to self destruct. Someone is always watching in our world, and do not underestimate our Eyes. Please send us the link to your blog. You know... the one that has caused the resignation of dozens of malfeasant crud bags, and ruined the corrupt plans of an entire embedded criminal organization. We would love to read your work. Otherwise, continue to sit on the sidelines patting yourself on the back. You will learn in our little journey that the biggest help sometimes comes in very unconventional ways, from the least expected entity. When faced with what you think is redundant arrogance, step back, reevaluate, change the play book, increase the intensity and utilize new methods of attack that your adversaries could not close their eyes, drop an acid tab and dream of you coming at them with in one million years of Sunday. If you do not help yourself, nobody else will. Especially in New Mexico.
Stealth: The one true test of of honesty and intgrety is living in the open sunlight and taking responsibility for what you say and do and not hiding in the shadows with anonymous posts on an anonymous blog. Trying to take credit for others work like the Eye does is living a lie. The Eye and Stealth trying to take credit for exposing malfeasance that has lead to resiganations is really fucked up seing as Schutz, White, Eden, Levy, banks, Perry, and Jessica all moved on with their pensions intact and when they decided on their own. You must read you own blog not realizing most think it is fake news.
The CITY is on the right track now. As long as Keller & Company have their COFFEE. Must have been a really slow day for news to have to do a stupid story on coffee. Crime is out of control, kids being abused daily CYFD turning a blind eye to it all. But its okay because the 11th floor now has coffee from a local vendor. WTF?????????????????
So when will Jodi Gonterman live up to her promise to the beating victim? "I told her I won't retire until her case is solved". Well its been solved so get to shaking your ass out of the Main.
Byrd is Jack Jones woman and there is probably some pay back politics with the LEA Board. That was Schultz pay back if IA didn't pull through. An APD wanna be who wouldn't have made an academy.
Sullivan at will no lawsuit
Geier is a nice guy but anyone who had worked with him knows his true color. APD is hiring anyone just like they did with laterals when Levi Chavez came through. Gonna bite them in the ass in 6 or so years. APD is hiring anyone who has a cert regardless of what their background reveals.
I agree, I know Sullivan has had it made his whole career, being catered to in sid. But I now he at least took care of his guys n wasn't a dick. I can name 5 commanders that should be fired before him. Velarde, Garcia (Jennifer n mizel), Duran, n lil man Art. Just for starters. Come in Geier/Keller, pull your heads out your asses.
July 28th 11:00,
You poor, pathetic, self absorbed, washed up old failure. You never were anything, and that must be where your animosity stems from. All you have are baseless comments and jabs, that constantly fail to land. We don’t know what your “resiganations” is, but when you learn how to spell please write back. All you do is cry about the blog. We actually enjoy the fact that we dig in your ass. And this light you talk about? Is it the same light that is shined when political promotions are discussed? Maybe it is when politicsal deals are made at coffee houses to promote people who should have been terminated and arrested. Maybe your sunlight shines on falsified timesheets and the hypocrisy of Bible thumpers. You want to see the light? You can easily see the light. We walk around in it every day, while incompetent low class criminals like you hid under cow paddies, thinking nobody knows the truth. The truth is that people like you can not handle the truth about yourselves. You are gutless and need dozens of other gutless cowards behind and in front of you to protect you. You think you have the high ground? Stick to your fantasy world and leave the rest to people who csn at least articulate their point intelligently. Our proof lies in the decade of articles containing articulated proof of the corruption that has been going on; proof you wouldn’t even know existed. So cram it up your candy ass. You do not even know where Jessica landed. She is now a deputy chief of police in Farmington NM. So instead of coming at us because we spsnked the living shit out of you and your friends, make a call to a politician who keep enabling these malfeasant, vindictive, protected individuals to continue their conduct through out the state, by constantly handing out political favors by way of looking the other way on what they have done. Let another officer try to get a job when they resigned in lieu of termination. All you do is sound like a wet diaper wearing crybaby who took a swift kick in the ass by way of this blog so go put some lotion on that and get over it. Please take your own advise and stand under the light for a moment. We would like to see how long a fungus like you would last.
Cheers, and thank you very much for reading our humble blog and breaking up the monotony.
“Sullivan at will no lawsuit”
Actually, if Sullivan testified in federal court as to unethical and or illegal behavior and practices within APD to skirt the reform, to be dishonest in order to politically fulfill hiring numbers, or mislead the public, as to the competency of academy training and he has evidence that top APD brass were displeased, angry, or enraged, then took adverse actions against him as retaliation, he will have a whistleblower case, and all of those involved will have some kind of headache when a former commander of a sensitive unit like SID decides to go at them. Sullivan probably knows a lot more about many more cases, and incidents that could become very problematic for the past and present administration and they should probably be pretty worried that he could decide to tell what he knows to federal investigators.
Nothing much has changed within APD. They are still so stupid that they eat their own and stab those in the back that know where the bodies are buried. This alone will be their demise for at least the mafia even has protocols in place for dealing with inside made men when they go off the reservation.
If Sullivan gonna claim whistle blower there is a time limit he needs to declare that also. Stealth forgot to put that in there and if Sullivan did, where is it?
Stealth----Sullivan didn't complain being at will when he collected those big checks and was one of the boys. Oh how things change and he still at will spin how you want. SID was filled with his boys and didn't do shit but warrants. I still say at WILL
I worked for Sullivan for a bit, he was a good commander. He was cocky and favored his SID boys, but he was way better than some of these others. If we're going to really hold the command staff accountable, lets start with the ones truly should never have been command in first place. Art, Mizel, Jenn, etc etc. Broken record, the shit always find a way to thrive on APD. Glad I can retire.
Nobody gets under our skin, especially a third rate servant boy like you. Stick to washing balls peasant, and good luck with that hate man of god.
Mizel Garcia is a Commander now? Are you f'in kidding me!? Hey Mizel, some of us were there when you were in SID as a "detective". We know what happened. Mike, come on, I know he's your best friend n all but he's a dirty cop. Mayors office, you have a dirty cop as Commander. I will provide the details, but to ch 7.
Sullivan will sue, and I’ll help him, financially if he asks. Spineless Geier, illiterate Harold, drunken Roger, corrupt Art/Mizel, etc etc. they all need to pay. Wake up Mr Mayor!!
Looks like its the same old shit going on at APD. Commander Michelle Campbell now in charge of the Compliance Unit. She is one of the worst offenders of compliance. She has been a main character in Schultz's "NATURE @ PLAY" for most of her so called career. Absolutely amazing...
Please keep us up to date on Sullivan. I will not donate he had been a "boy" since he graduated. They reserve every Sgt spot he had for him and why? Cuz he a "boy." Just my opinion he got was he deserve.
I don’t get what the deal is with all this whining about the academy cheating thing. So the cadet class got together and reviewed what has been studied throughout the class. Big deal. So what if the instructors emphasized certain things over others. It’s like any prep class. There was no answers given during the exam and the exam was in a controlled setting. Get over it.
I'll support Sullivan, why? Not because I loved the guy or anything, but he was better than Mike Geier, Harold Medina, Art Sanchez, Mizel Garcia, Jen Garcia, Roger Banez, Michelle Campbell, JJ Griego, Paul Duran, Paul Szyc. And the list goes on n on. Come on people, we need to get rid of real problems!!!
Sullivan had it made, no argument there. But at least he had worked in SID before. Art Sanchez failed the SWAT sergeant test, 5x!! And now he's the commander of SWAT. Why? Cuz he's Harold's "boy". Mizel Garcia stole money and slept with informants in SID as a detective, but now hes back as commander. Why? Cuz hes Mike's "boy". Its all the same shit at APD, just new "boys".
Mizel sleeping with CIs? No shock there! No one on 5th or 11th cares, don't waste your time.
