Another Indy News site has verified my reporting that there are only 300 Albuquerque police officers assigned to take calls for service. At times there are only 3 available for an entire shift in any given area command and those officers have been ordered to only make arrests for high-level crimes.

City of Albuquerque publishes report touting the police department’s success in decreasing the crime rates between 2023 and 2024.
