And it’s really hard, and it’s unfortunate, too, because a lot of times your only friends—or you feel like—the only person that you can trust is the person wearing the uniform next to you. KUNM: Do you think it’s true that police officers in general do a lot of interacting with mentally ill folks? IELACQUA: Every day. Every day, and in fact I would say that the huge majority of the calls is either alcohol, substance abuse or somebody that is ill—or what is known as dual-diagnosis folks. Officers do have to deal with that on a daily basis. KUNM: Do you have any particular stories that kind of stand out from your time that you can relay? IELACQUA: Yeah, I do actually have quite a few stories, but a couple that stick out in my mind.  I was a rookie, and I was riding with a veteran officer. It was a 10-40, a mental patient call. We show up—an old trailer park in the Southeast—and it was an elderly couple in their late 80s. They were with their mentally ill son, who was unclean, unbathed, and you could tell he’d probably been off his meds for a while. And I’ll never forget the fear in their eyes. I also remember the officer I was with. He’s retired now. There was a big knife, like a meat-cutting knife, laying on the floor next to this guy’s feet. And I can remember the veteran officer, the friend of mine, just very patient and talking in a very low voice. And I asked him later, I said, well, “Why were you talking so softly to the guy?” And he says well, he goes, “If you think about it, the lower I talk, the more he’s got to pay attention to me. So he is focusing all his attention onto my voice.” And so later on in my career, I actually tried that. And I would be where somebody was talking, maybe not shouting but very agitated, and I would bring my voice down, and I would start talking lower, and it would bring them lower. And it actually works. KUNM: What is it like dealing with someone who’s in an extreme moment of crisis, whether because of drugs or because of mental illness or both? IELACQUA: It can be tough, and it also can be rewarding. I always remember an instructor saying: Life before property. And the biggest thing is trying to protect life. And that includes, not only your own life, but the person that’s in crisis, but everybody else’s that’s around you. And sometimes, depending on where you’re at and what the situation is, it can be very demanding. It can be a very tough thing, because you have to make quick decisions on your feet right then and there, which can be life-taking or life-threatening, and you have a lot to worry about. Every situation’s different, every person’s different, and sometimes you have no idea what you’re about to encounter. http //publichealthnm org/tag/paul-ielacqua/ Jasler Natalie   Albuquerque, APD/Officer?, Older Material (1980s) in Kait Arquette/Real Crimes; Jasler apparently hit a woman trying to view a family member's deceased body and then arrested the same person suggesting aggravated assault on a police officer, -,  Kaitarquette-overview Articles http //kaitarquette arquettes com/corruption%20overview htm Jenkins Ken   Las Vegas, LVPD/Deputy Chief at time of lawsuit against city,  Alleged racial discrimination by Mayor Tonita Gurule-Giron because Jenkins is black, Victim is Deputy Chief Ken Jenkins, KRQE-2019/07/22; Case 2019 Jenkins v.

Bennett said not only was his client passed up for promotions, “This doesn’t appear in the original complaint, but the mayor is actually quoted as saying, ‘I’m gonna get rid of the negro,'” Bennett said. The retaliation and alleged racist remarks made to higher-ups didn’t stop, and it got so bad that Jenkins couldn’t take it. “It’s caused https //www krqe com/news/new-mexico/former-las-vegas-pd-deputy-chief-files-suit-against-the-city Johnson Tim   State-Wide centered in Santa Fe, NMSP/Chief-started in 2019; prev DPS, On getting started as new police chief, asked for updated technology, -, LA Daily Post-2020/02/05; Snta Fe NM-2019/11/02 Articles LA Daily Post 2020/02/05 Senate confirms Tim Johnson New Mexico State Police.  By Carol A. Clark. https //ladailypost com/senate-confirms-tim-johnson-new-mexico-state-police-chief/ Excerpt:  SANTA FE – Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Wednesday issued the following statement after the New Mexico Senate unanimously confirmed Tim Johnson as chief of the New Mexico State Police: “Chief Johnson has been a steady and stabilizing force at the Department of Public Safety. I am glad to see senators endorse him and by extension his officers and the work they do every single day to keep New Mexico communities and roadways safe. Chief Johnson is a leader of high character and integrity and I look forward to his continued good work.” The governor’s executive recommendation called for 60 additional State Police officers, a push for enhanced personnel the administration looks forward to ensuring is accommodated in the FY2021 budget. Among other criminal justice reform and public safety initiatives the governor has endorsed, House Bill 184 provides special funding to support state police officers in communities around the state and enhanced funding from the Law Enforcement Protection Fund to support local public safety agencies, as well. https //ladailypost com/senate-confirms-tim-johnson-new-mexico-state-police-chief/ Santa Fe New Mexican 2019/11/02   New Mexico State Police chief clearing controversies https //www santafenewmexican com/news/local_news/new-mexico-state-police-chief-clearing- controversies/article_05f5917b-057b-5924-98c2-a80fe0e317f9 html Excerpt:  Tim Johnson, the new chief of a far-flung operation that has outposts from Clayton to Lordsburg and Hobbs to Farmington, is no different. Asked about reports of division within the department under his predecessor — the kind that spurred lawsuits alleging sexual harassment, gender discrimination and retaliation — and he falls back on the math.  “Four or five people in an organization of 1,300,” he said, “doesn’t make an organization divided, in my opinion.”  In his 19th year with the state police, Johnson has built a career that spans the gamut (patrolman, instructor, criminal investigator, public information officer) in a department where there’s always a new assignment and a long road to travel.  Knowing that, Johnson said he’s determined to get his department ready for the next decade rather than worry about the one about to end.  Appointed earlier this year by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, Johnson said the department needs a variety of technological upgrades — and a new way of thinking about policing — as it exits from the controversies endured under his predecessor, Pete Kassetas. Kassetas’ rocky tenure was marked by out-of-court legal settlements that cost taxpayers nearly $2 million.  Asked in a recent interview about the most important issues facing state police, Johnson said it wasn’t morale or the lingering effects of the controversies from the past few years. Instead, he said, his department is “15, 20 years behind, technology wise” compared to other law enforcement agencies around the country. https //www santafenewmexican com/news/local_news/new-mexico-state-police-chief-clearing- controversies/article_05f5917b-057b-5924-98c2-a80fe0e317f9 html Jones Aaron T.   Valencia County/Los Lunas/Lea County/Hobbs/Los Angeles, Valencia County Sheriff's Office;Lea County Sheriffs Office/Homicide Detective/Albuquerque-Security Agency CEO; INFO: Investigating officer of Chavez Jones case; extensive security background, -, Inquisitr-2016/11/2; LinkedIn; Cases 2015/07/15-Levi Chavez v.

Instead, the officer stored the drugs in his/her police locker at the airport overnight. 2016/04/01--http //nmpoliticalreport com/37956/abqs-top-aviation-cop-placed-on-leave/ KRQE 2017/04/12-- Former Sunport Aviation Police chief wins fight over suspension https //www krqe com/news/former-sunport-aviation-police-chief-wins-fight-over- suspension_20180104024159160/900165282 2016/09/08 APD to take over Sunport Police oversight; chief & others under investigation.
