Las Cruces Police Audit

By KRWG News

Las Cruces – The Las Cruces City Council has awarded a contract to a Washington, D.C., company to audit the police department.

The Police Executive Research Forum will begin its one-year $49,600 contract on July 1.

Councilors, in approving the contract Monday, were following a recommendation made nearly a year ago by a consulting firm that conducted an independent review of the Las Cruces Police Department.

The audit will evaluate citizen complaints investigated by the police department, do a risk assessment and make policy recommendations after reviewing procedures and training that would impact police accountability.
