Retired Albuquerque Police Department (APD) officer Thomas Grover, Attorney, Retired Chief Mike Geier, and retired officer Brian McCutcheon join APD Connect to discuss the increase in property and violent crime in Albuquerque. In this timely discussion, they weigh in on the upcoming mayoral election and its potential impact on public safety, as the city continues to face rising crime rates. Here are a couple of their main points:

• Albuquerque needs 1600 sworn officers to effectively protect the city (As of 9-25-2025, APD has 877 sworn police officers).
• The COVID-19 pandemic and the court-approved settlement agreement do not excuse the failed recruiting efforts of the Department and the Mayor of Albuquerque.
