Richard J. BerryMayorMESSAGE FROMMAYOR BERRYIt is my pleasure to acknowledge the many accomplishments andhardworking officers of the Albuquerque Police Department as evidencedthroughout the 2013 annual report. Once again, there are numerousprograms that have been initiated in the last year that have achieved greatresults.2013 ushered in the establishment of the Real Time Crime Center, whichutilizes state-of-the-art technology to protect our community and provideofficers in the field with the resources they need to do their jobs safelyand effectively. Additionally, during the last year APD has partneredwith the Albuquerque Fire Department to introduce the Public InebriateIntervention Program. Through this program which is a partnership withBernalillo County and the University of New Mexico Hospital, the twodepartments ensure that when emergency responders receive a call aboutan intoxicated person, that individual receives treatment at the BernalilloCounty Metropolitan Assessment and Treatment Services facility insteadof being taken to jail or an emergency room. Over a thousand peoplehave been served through the program since its inception, which notonly saves resources for the various agencies and medical facilities thatwould have previously done the intake, but also provides the individualwith treatment resources and referrals. This effort is well complementedby the involvement of the Albuquerque Police Department leadership inthe mental health collaborative Creating Community Solutions, which held its first city wide public outreach meetingin the summer of 2013 and continues its important work to seek community input through a series of neighborhoodmeetings.In addition to these efforts, we continue to see many extraordinary examples of the exceptional work of many officersduring the mayor’s weekly Friday’s Heroes awards. From the officer who ran into an apartment building engulfed inflames to save an infant, to the group of police personnel who rescued a child who was stranded in the Bosque, werecognize that men and women within the Albuquerque Police Department perform heroic acts every day.It is a time of both challenge and opportunity within the Department, but I have faith that the men and women of APDwill work together with our citizenry in order to achieve the best community outcomes. We share a commitment topublic safety as the highest priority for our community. We will work cooperatively to provide officers the resourcesthey require and continuously strive for improvement in all aspects of city government on behalf of the city and itsresidents.Best regards,Richard J. BerryMayor3

CHIEFGORDEN E. EDEN, JR.I was selected to be the Chief of Police of the Albuquerque Police Department(APD) in February 2014. From day one, I have been working on theDepartment’s processes, response, and stature in the community. My toppriorities are recruitment, retention, community engagement, and forging aproductive relationship with the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ)in order to successfully implement their recommendations and bring lastingchange to the department.One of my main goals is to increase the number of officers that patrol yourneighborhoods on a daily basis. Unfortunately, the department has seen asteep decline of officers from a high of about 1,100 in 2009, to a little over900 today. This trend is consistent with many other law enforcement agenciesthroughout the country. My team and I are exploring every option to increaserecruitment, including partnering with local colleges to offer law enforcementspecificprograms that will aid in meeting APD’s educational requirement.In addition, we are looking into developing a program with the AlbuquerquePublic Schools that will inspire young adults currently enrolled in high schoolto consider a career with APD. I would also like to persuade you, the reader,to encourage your friends and family to contemplate a profession with APD.Previous studies show that the majority of APD recruits are obtained fromword of mouth referrals from current officers and civilian staff.As I stated after my swearing in as Chief, the plan for my first one hundreddays in office includes meeting with City Council, community and unionleaders, and evaluating the structure of APD. We must re-establish therelationships and bonds that make for successful community policing, anddevelop a sense of mutual trust and respect.I am relieved that the USDOJ investigation has concluded and we havebegun the process of resolving deficiencies. Both Mayor Berry and I areconfident that APD can make the necessary improvements and I am eagerto address the challenges that may arise. In my past positions, I haveexcelled at leading organizational transformations using quality managementprocesses to create greater employee accountability. I am a strong proponentof strategic planning and the implementation of technology. I am dedicatedto using all of my thirty five years of progressive leadership and experienceto guide the department through these challenges, so that we can all emergebetter prepared for the future.Gorden E. Eden, Jr.Chief of Police“I’m very passionate about thiscommunity. I grew up in thistown.”I encourage all of you to participate in the “remaking” of the Department. I aminterested in your ideas, comments, and concerns. Please do not hesitate tocontact me or my staff to get your voice heard. I also ask that if you see anofficer or other APD employee doing a great job, please let us know too. Wewant those officers and civilians to be recognized and commended for theirefforts.Respectfully,Gorden E. Eden, Jr.Chief of Police5

OFFICE OF EMERGENCYMANAGEMENTRoger EbnerDirectorThe Office of EmergencyManagement is responsible forleading the City in planning,preparedness, responsecoordination, and recoveryfor emergencies, large scalecitywide events, and majordisasters.“The Office of EmergencyManagement administers anintegrated program, partneringwith the community toprovide a comprehensive andunified approach to enhancingdisaster preparedness andcommunity resilience. Ourgoal is to be a national modelof best practices in emergencymanagement.”The new Alternate EmergencyOperations Center (AEOC) wasoperational for the 2013 AlbuquerqueInternational Balloon Fiesta (AIBF).Prior to its inception, the Office ofEmergency Management, TechnicalServices, and the Real Time CrimeCenter (RTCC) staff worked diligentlyto develop, purchase, install, andtrain personnel on new equipmentand software. Two projectors, threetelevisions, four dual monitors,several parrot cards, and twoprojector screens were purchasedand installed throughout the AEOCand policy rooms. Connectivitybetween the RTCC, AEOC,and Policy Room was bridged.Information in the RTCC was able tobe shared among all of the projectorscreens and computer monitors inthe AEOC; as well as the televisionmonitors in the Policy Room.The lack of Emergency Managementsoftware spurred the TechnicalServices Division and RTCC staffto create a temporary system. Forthe AIBF, staff from throughout theCity and APD attended two-hourblocks of training, working the actualevent with current information. TheAIBF, along with the AEOC, was anoverall success. Personnel left witha better understanding of emergencymanagement, the concept of theirrole in the Emergency OperationsCenter (EOC), the data that theywere responsible for collecting andreporting, and how to report thatinformation on the Sharepoint site tothe Emergency Manager. The AEOCis now available for any future eventactivations.Five large-scale training exerciseswere conducted with various partneragencies. Examples of the exercisescenarios are a collapsed buildingresponse with the U.S. Search andRescue Team-NM Task Force 1and the federal Disaster MedicalAssistance Team; a Sunport aviationaccident exercise; a medical mass24casualty exercise involving thedistribution of antibiotics, vaccines,and other chemical antidotes; anda flood response exercise with localflood control agencies.The CERT Program trains individualsin basic disaster response skills,allowing them to be better preparedfor disasters and to develop localCERT teams to assist in disasterresponse.

NORTHWESTAREA COMMANDThe Northwest Area Commandcontinued to implement initiatives toreduce property crimes. A commonfactor in many property-relatedcrimes was drug use.The Northwest Area Commanderdevised an idea to help reduce theavailability of prescription narcotics.He suggested that APD should makeit easier for people to dispose oftheir unwanted prescriptions. Theprescriptions would often find theirway into the hands of teenagersor they would be inappropriatelydisposed of by flushing them andcontaminating our water system. Alock box was placed in the lobby ofeach substation where people coulddrop off any unwanted prescriptions.The unwanted prescription drugswould later be destroyed by theCrime Lab. The program hascollected and disposed of hundredsof pounds of prescriptions drugs.The Northwest Area Command baitcar program became a proactivetool which was utilized throughoutthe Northwest Area Command.The Area Command made it apriority to increase the amount ofbait (ETS) equipment and propertyduring operations. In 2013, thearea command doubled the sizeof the amount of bait propertyand deployment. On numerousoccasions, bait vehicles were brokeninto and the offenders were takeninto custody.In 2013, the Northwest AreaCommand began a major projectthat focused on Sector 63. Thearea of the command has manychallenging factors that contributeto crime. The goal was to addressthe overall health of the communityto reduce the fear of crime andbuild community partnerships. Tohelp increase positive contacts withthe community, Northwest officerswere required to make at least twoburglary prevention contacts eachmonth.
