While the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office asked for public comment on revisions to its use-of-force policies, some members of the public found it difficult to give their input because they couldn’t access the existing policies online.
Several members of the public who submitted comments said they couldn’t find the existing policy on the sheriff’s website and, when they asked for more clarification on the policies, they didn’t receive an answer.
Juan Rios, the Sheriff’s Office media coordinator, said the sheriff’s office is in the process of reviewing the public comments they did receive and letting staff members share their thoughts on the current policy. Rios said new legislation regarding law enforcement – such as the New Mexico Civil Rights Act that passed during this year’s legislative session – will also be taken into account when creating the new policy.

The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office is seeking public input as it reviews its current use-of-force policy with an eye to replacing it with a more modern version.
The office announced last week that it will be seeking public comment on the use-of-force policy from March 1 until March 20. As of Thursday, the office had received eight comments, spokesman Juan Rios said.
“Law enforcement depends on the partnership with the community, not only in reference to instances for the use of force … but also we depend on that partner partnership to solve crime to keep neighborhoods safe,” Sheriff Adan Mendoza said. “So it only makes sense to get the community involved.”
Their work has placed them at the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic in high-contact situations: responding to violent incidents, aiding people in crisis, monitoring protests, interacting with members of the homeless community and enforcing face mask rules.
Still, officials say just 10 officers with the Santa Fe Police Department, out of 141 on the force, and one employee at the Santa Fe County Sheriffâs Office, out of 107 total workers, have tested positive for the illness.
Five of the city police cases are active, data shows.
The local law enforcement agencies have managed to avoid an outbreak like the one that struck the Albuquerque Police Department last month, infecting more than 50 workers, according to news reports. That department has had over 100 infections throughout the pandemic.
