New Mexico tracks wandering cops with national index
A new National Police Index database, led by Invisible Institute and partners, compiles officer histories from 26 states including New Mexico. It shows 5,185 active NM officers, with 811 having three or more employers and 252 previously terminated, though undercounts exist due to varied local reporting. The project complements DPS and follows New Mexico’s 2023 Law Enforcement Certification Board reforms aiming for transparency and accountability.
