The total line of duty deaths in the state of New Mexico is now at 184.
KFOX spoke with the New Mexico Governor’s Public Safety Advisor Benjamin Baker about the troubling“I’ve been a New Mexico law enforcement officer for 27 years, so I’ve been to a number of law enforcement funerals, and it is a horrible situation, and it is one that needs immediate attention,” Baker said.
The biggest thing I want to see happen soon is dealing with our issues with competency. People are arrested for a crime and found incompetent, and the case gets dismissed, there’s no consequence. And most states there’s treatment or there’s competency restoration, that doesn’t exist in New Mexico,” Story said.
One of those measures mentioned, was signing Senate Bill 271 into law, which is a bill focused on pre-trial detention, which means if someone is out on conditions for an active felony case and they commit another crime, the judge is allowed to hold that person without bond. Baker emphasized what’s in place to try to prevent repeat offenders but how it's not necessarily completely addressing the problem.
