ALBUQUERQUE – The union that represents police officers in New Mexico’s largest city has launched a $70,000 campaign aimed at highlighting Albuquerque’s persistent crime problems.
The Albuquerque Police Officers’ Association is using billboards and television, radio and social media ads to urge the public to tell city leaders that the focus should be on crime rather than wasting money on continued oversight by the U.S. Justice Department.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Albuquerque police are holding a two-month operation along Montgomery Boulevard after a spike of violent incidents at apartment complexes in the area.
Since Jan. 1, four people have been killed and others injured in multiple separate shooting incidents along Montgomery.
The homicides were clustered at complexes near Montgomery and Carlisle, but police say the operation will target the Montgomery corridor.
“Having a large police presence in an area that has recently seen violent crime spike, will without a doubt deter these incidents from occurring,” Police Chief Harold Medina said.
