State could potentially lost hundreds of police officers

Hundreds of law enforcement officers across the state could soon have to retire because of a change in their benefits.

The move could potentially cripple public safety across New Mexico. Law enforcement agencies, including the Albuquerque Police Department, could lose officers to retirement due to changes in their benefits. 

APD could potentially lose as many as 200 officers and residents aren't happy. The issue could apparently affect departments large and small.

 An emergency meeting has been scheduled for 120 law enforcement leaders across the state. Officials will meet in December to discuss how to handle the problems.
