Civilian Police Oversight Advisory Board - November 12, 2026

The Albuquerque Civilian Police Oversight Advisory Board meeting was held November 12, 2026. No contract awards, bids, vendor selections, or purchasing decisions were identified. Community Outreach reported that a ballot measure reallocating $5 million (described as an 8% reappropriation, not a tax increase) had passed. The board also unanimously forwarded recommendations to APD on transporting people who use walkers or other assistive devices and on officer attention and securing items during transport; these were procedural recommendations, not procurement actions.

The board heard reports on police force and misconduct investigations, training and recruitment, community services, complaints, and the CPOA’s January–June semiannual report, which it voted to send to City Council. It unanimously upheld the CPOA findings in an appeal and affirmed findings in two serious-use-of-force cases, including one instance where a board member identified a possible conduct violation for follow-up. The meeting included no identified procurement activity.
