Just 2 of the hundreds of back door decisions that only benefits those on the 5th floor. Question for them is.... Don't you see that you all are a joke and your egos are destroying the department you claim to love? At every meeting the chief claims he is approached constantly by people praising APD. What meetings are you going to? I go to numerous meetings each week and people are disgusted with APD. Oh wait, this just into the newsroom, an SOP change has just been announced making it mandatory for the chief, DCs and majors to use a special type of lip balm when kissing the ass of the mayor. Worst management team ever assembled. <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-75352398098148751432015-04-29T09:30:32.291-06:002015-04-29T09:30:32.291-06:00Pathetic.

There's only a few laterals left that would benefit from this and with their negative attitude I seriously doubt they care about service stripes. It just sickens me that with everything going on Eden would care so much as to change SOP just so people will think he is better than he is. What's next? Montano changing SOP so he can get hazard duty pay for all the skanks he sleeps with? Or Gonterman asking for a new ribbon for excessive force incidents?

Rob Perry asked Eden to apply and pushed for his appointment. Berry said Eden was the the most qualified, even though Eden had NO experience in managing municipal police.<br /><br />Looking at Eden's resume, you realize what a political hack and a fraud he really is for wearing sixteen service bars reflecting 32 years. Eden's job history is as follows: <br />1975 to 1981 New Mexico State Police officer. <br />1981 to 1984 training officer<br />1984 to 1985 special assistant to the deputy chief<br />1986 to 1988 Bureau Chief for Training / Recruiting NM DPS<br />1988 to 1990 Division Director for Northwestern University (Illinois)<br />1990 to 1991 Special Agent with SID NM AG office<br />1991 to 1995 Bureau Chief of DPS Training New Mexico<br />1997 to 2002 he was appointed Director of Motor Vehicle Division<br />2002 to 2010 appointed US Marshall<br />2011 to 2014 NM Cabinet Secretary for DPS<br />2014 to 2015 APD Police Chief<br /><br />Eden is including 5 years as Director of MVD. Did he carry a gun and arrest people during that time for expired drivers licenses and expired car registrations???? Just how many years has Eden been a certified police officer??? <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-41007857449921698002015-04-29T07:53:03.349-06:002015-04-29T07:53:03.349-06:00Celina Espinosa should be fired.

When she speaks the entire community will not believe her because she lied. She has not business in APD. She is a liar.<br /><br />And Eden is a coward for not speaking to KRQE.

If you have something that the department just changed make a copy and send it to the Eye so it can be posted.<br /><br />And remember, Eden hide and Celina lied.

Probably for a million or so dollars. You mean to tell me that Agency picked Eden as their best?? I remember the Mayor saying "it would be disingenuous to hire a company if I already had someone in mind". Now we have this local hack Eden as Chief. I can't find that news article anywhere. I think it was on KRQE.

Ask any officer if they have confidence in the top administration to include the mayor.

That certainly provides a statement of where the priorities of Eden are. Was he jealous of not being able to have the accoutrements that APD officers have earned? Certainly someone else on the 5th floor initiated this policy change. It is apparent that this is a change to give the appearance that he is more experienced than what he really is. One has to question if he was officially considered "sworn" during all of his previous employment. Being the civilian head of an agency does not met the definition of sworn. Darren White is a example of this. Why does a chief of police care about adding service stripes to his uniform? There are larger issue with APD then his personal appearance. More are likely questioning his appointment to such a critical position. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
