Civilian Police Oversight Advisory Board - September 10, 2026

The Albuquerque Civilian Police Oversight Advisory Board held a meeting on September 10, 2026, focusing primarily on police oversight matters including use of force investigations, policy reviews, and community policing updates. Key procurement-related discussions included the review and submission of recommendations for Albuquerque Police Department (APD) Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), particularly SOP 2-103 regarding trespass notifications. The board recommended clarifying the duration and communication of trespass notices to ensure consistency and reduce confusion among officers and the public. Additionally, the board discussed the referral of off-cycle SOP 2-104 (civil disputes policy) to the Policy Procedure Review Subcommittee for further review, emphasizing the need for input from APD policy owners and legal counsel before making recommendations. The board also received updates on disciplinary policy changes and the implementation of Enhanced Supervisory Interventions (ESIs) within APD. Motions to affirm findings of several APD use of force investigations were unanimously approved. The meeting concluded with scheduling and procedural matters, including the next meeting date and adjournment.
