Albuquerque police strike seeks higher pay and relief
Albuquerque police, led by Capt. Lane Vance, struggle with a weeklong strike that has left 32 officers to cover a 275000 population. About 400 officers walkout over a 12 percent raise demand, with 300 resignations to defy a judge’s order. Rallies and petitions fueled calls to recall Mayor Kinney as the city weighs a 8 to 12 percent pay offer and potential federal mediation. Level of city services has diminished with detectives sidelined and patrols thin.
