ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. A former APD employee is in serious trouble after she was accused of altering her time card to get paid for hours she never worked.
Paulette Diaz was the executive assistant to APD Chief Mike Geier until Spring 2020. Only now are we learning of an internal affairs report that found while she was in the Chief s Office, investigators believe she fraudulently used former Chief of Staff John Ross s login information to alter her time card.
In a memo to Chief Harold Medina, an internal affairs investigator wrote, Electronic records prove she did this 179 times, which clearly shows this was a pattern and practice for her. Ross advised in his interviews that he never gave permission or authorization to make these changes and grant these approvals despite Ms. Diaz claiming otherwise.

An internal investigation found that the executive assistant to the former chief of the Albuquerque Police Department had been using her supervisor’s log-in credentials to approve her time card and overtime.
However, the investigation could not determine whether she had worked those hours.
Paulette Diaz was hired by Michael Geier when he was appointed chief in 2017. She was transferred to the Animal Welfare Department after she alleged that then-chief of staff John Ross had improperly purchased a laptop computer, gotten a pay raise without Geier’s approval and engaged in other unprofessional conduct. An internal investigation cleared Ross of all major wrongdoing, but both he and Diaz left the department after Geier was asked to retire.
