This summer, the Law Enforcement Academy Board changed the rules to prevent public oversight and comment on law enforcement training.

Even after national outrage over an officer shooting at a mom and children in a minivan in Taos, and DOJ investigations into APD use of force, the board endorsed new curriculum to decrease law enforcement training and scrap responsible, reactive use-of-force training for a "shoot first" program that makes us all less safe.

New Mexico needs responsible, professional law enforcement training, not this. 

I urge you to hold our law enforcement officers to the highest standards and give them the training they deserve to serve us well.

    Subject: Will you help me stop "Shoot First" training for New Mexico cops?
    I just signed this petition to stop New Mexico's Law Enforcement Academy from shortening police training and teaching a new "Shoot First" policy.

    Governor Martinez appoints the majority of the board and we need her to reverse this policy and give our officer the training they deserve.

    Will you sign with me?
