Albuquerques Mayor Tim Keller proposes a budget that maintains the police departments sworn officer count at 1,150, despite only 917 being active. The plan shifts 79 officers from desk jobs and specialized units to neighborhood patrols, adding 50 Police Service Aides to handle paperwork. The budget also includes $3.8 million for frontline raises. To fund this, 52 civilian jobs and 8 command staff positions will be cut, saving $5.9 million. The city council will review the proposal in April and May.
