Above is an example of the nonsense idiots like Mayor Berry, Gorden Eden, and CAO Robert Perry are saying to victims they intend to bring to the Albuquerque Police Department as recruits and Lateral hires.
We have found multiple examples of deceptive advertising in job listings across the nation where the city of Albuquerque has taken out job listing, and recruitment ads. Recruitment is listing the salary of an Albuquerque police officer at $87,000 a year, when the base salary of $58,000 is what should be listed there. What they are not saying right away is that you "could" make that much. That figure is the average of their top payed officers; guys on the inside, like their information and DUI officers. Most of them are assigned to special units. Every other employer puts the starting salary in their job listings, but again, the grand illusionists just can not resist embellishing and lying to bait candidates into this cess pool and treacherous trap. The mayor and police chief could give a shit about APD officers. They have proven this with their attacks on officers. Now they want to lure people hundreds of miles from their homes to a place where the administration will set them up, lie on them, to use them to cover for the public corruption that is running rampant here, send them into a riot without protective gear to look politically correct, and not hurt feelings, scare them to death, so much so that they get bashed over the heads with handbags filled with boulders because they are nervous to react, get harassed by an administration that does not tolerate those who speak out about the corruption, and constantly be in the presence of self serving perverts and sociopaths in command levels, who would destroy their families in seconds, if it meant they could gain something from it.
The quality of APD has completely taken a shit. We have a police chief who has no command presence, and is a pathetic liar on all levels, and we have officers who are terrified to stand up for themselves. The word is that our impact detective units are told they are not allowed on the streets if a supervisor is not in, and even when one is in they don't want to do anything, because doing something at APD now gets you into trouble. And lets clear this up before Gorden and Berry start blaming the Department of Justice. No, it is not the DoJ that has done this. It is an arbitrary, criminal, dishonorable, and dishonest command staff, lead by a coward mayor, and administration that has declared war on cops, and used them to protect themselves from scrutiny. They just do what they want to whomever they want, and not a damn thing is done about it.
We advise all potential candidates filling out Albuquerque Police Department Employment Interest Cards with the Recruitment Unit to fully do their research, and not jump into the fire without knowing what you are getting into. Waiting another year may be in your best interest of your survival. As the federal monitor for the DoJ, James Ginger says, the leadership is inept.
The top level of APD needs to go. Do not bring your families into an environment where police brass promote retaliation, harassment, corruption, lies, infidelities, perversion, theft, cowardice, and malfeasance. It is ruining this city, and it will ruin your family. They will tell you everything you want to hear to get you here, then... when you are the flavor of the day.... you will be their next statistic.
The next mayoral election will be interesting, and with the entrance of a new mayor and the picking up and throwing out of this coward regime things can change overnight.
