A new initiative has been launched
aimed at getting more recruits into the
Mayor Richard Berry and Albuquerque Police Chief Raymond
Schultz announced Wednesday an initiative that will give each cadet a $5,000
bonus for completing the academy and $500 for city employees who refer
qualified candidates. The city has also launched a new campaign aimed at

The move comes as the department worries that as many
as 200 officers could retire due to proposed changes to state retirement funds.
Schultz said those retirements would reduce the department's workforce to
around 800.
