Bujanda Takes Charge of Albuquerque Safety

Former FBI Albuquerque chief Raul Bujanda has landed a high-stakes new role as Executive Director of Public Safety, tasked with reshaping the city’s entire public safety ecosystem. Bringing his federal law enforcement expertise to bear, he’ll unify the police, fire, and community safety departments — even as he navigates the legacy of his past oversight of the APD during an FBI corruption probe. His vision centers on balancing accountability with reform, tackling youth violence and gun crime with a nuanced, community-focused strategy. This bold transition signals a pivotal shift in Albuquerque’s approach to safety and justice. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
