ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- The Albuquerque Police Department is trying to get a better understanding of what s behind the city s increased homicide count.
In 2021, there have been 42 victims and 10 people have been charged. 2021 is trending higher though, absolutely, we re not in denial of what that is, said Kyle Hartsock, APD deputy commander. Something we re already trying to do is increase the homicide unit up to 16 full time detectives. That process doesn t happen overnight.
Hartsock said the homicide unit currently has 10 officers that are operational. The others are still in training. So we re looking at each of those guys with about 4 cases, said Sgt. Rick Ingram. Some of them vary quite a bit, and we re in month 5, so we expect that to go up as the year goes on.
