Several Albuquerque police officers are undergoing a federal investigation, with the U.S. Attorney’s Office confirming a search of one officer’s residence in Los Lunas. This investigation has led to the termination of more than 150 ongoing driving while impaired (DWI) cases in Bernalillo County. While the Albuquerque Police Department confirms its collaboration with the FBI on an investigation involving their officers, the Bernalillo District Attorney’s Office has been forced to dismiss the DWI cases.
