Hopefully you won't end up like Jeff, for reporting the lies that he was told too. Make sure you don't cross them, if so, you'll be kicked to the curb like at least one PIO we all know of.<BR/><BR/>As far as complaining. The public, including recruits, need to know what's going on. Especially recruits, there are plenty of other good departments, like Rio Rancho, that don't hire criminals.<BR/><BR/>If I had to do it all over again I would have gone there. At least their pay & benefits are coming up.

The sgt was even kicked out of the DWI Unit.<BR/><BR/>So, I say again, it's not just a few cops complaining. It's more like 90-95% percent of the force.<BR/><BR/>Just go to any substation and see for yourself how bad morale is! Lets not even talk about the manning levels! <BR/><BR/>Officers go from call to call. We have priority one calls stacking daily, with no one to send! I feel sorry for the citizens that need are help, as there are not enough of us to go around.<BR/><BR/>If it wasn't for the 80 plus rehires that we now have, APD would be in major trouble! The dept would be about 700. The admin does not tell you that they can't recruit. Before long, the dept will be 50% rehires.<BR/><BR/>These are guys that retired and were hired back, and yes, they make more money that the newly hired cops.<BR/><BR/>Rehires are paid $21/hour, new cops $19/hour, and they wonder why recruiting is so bad??????? <BR/><BR/><BR/>Back to morale, if you want to know whats going on at APD, talk to any APD cop, better yet, talk to any of your friends that work for APD and ask them. Do it away from an APD building or the chief's office will come after that officer for telling the truth about the deplorable conditions on APD!<BR/><BR/>So, I conclude by saying, this is a great place to work, however, the current administration has screwed it up! After they all leave, it will take some time, but it will be a great place again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-40559398365413117892008-01-31T21:32:00.000-07:002008-01-31T21:32:00.000-07:00Being a female PIO is a great way to get promoted!...Being a female PIO is a great way to get promoted!

Why does any department need a PIO anyway, all they are is a voice box for the lies admin has to tell. Remember poor Jeff Arbogast. Schultz didn't keep him because he'd been the voice for the evidence scandal. Keeping him would have constantly reminded the public. And according to Marty, at that time, he'd cleaned house. Jeff just relayed what he was told.<BR/><BR/>How does APD pick up all these crappy laterals? Torres use to ride a bike for open space and was very instrumental in getting Open Space & APD to merge. Why you ask? Because he couldn't have made APD's academy. Just like that Aviation cop. That was back in the day when APD actually had standards. Now we have rapist, theives and the like. It seems like administration hire people who mirror themselves. After all they're pressured to hire all unqualified friends and relatives for contribution payback's. I'm so glad I'm leaving in a couple of years, but I'm sad for the citizens.<BR/><BR/>Don't take my word for it do your own investigation it's easy and free, but could be time consuming once you discover the crimes. <BR/>-Get a list of public safety employees, including the fire department. It's public record. As a taxpayer you have the right!! You also have the right to know what the big-wigs are making. <BR/>-Go to Bernallilo County website www.bernco.gov<BR/>-Click A-Z, go to courts under "C"<BR/>-Enter the names under both metro and district court(s). District court will reveal, civil & felony charges. You'll find domestic violence, DWI, shop lifting, fraud, forgery, indecent exposure... And these were crimes commited prior to city hire. Would you want these people coming into your families houses?? And yes there is a big difference between high level positions and the mail room. Most of these people couldn't even be hired in the mail room. Ask local businesses, who Marty, I mean Bill brings to NM. They have to go out of state to hire qualified people. Maybe the schools should start with a work ethic's class in primary school on up. <BR/><BR/>I guess Marty & Ray are desperate to reach that bogus 1100.
