Albuquerque police and U.S. Justice Department officials have held a series of private but contentious briefings following a signed agreement on reforms.
Officials say officers and federal authorities gathered Tuesday for the last of five meetings on how reforms will be adopted. But some officers expressed anger on how the Justice Department investigated Albuquerque police and pressed federal officials on why they only focused on certain excessive force cases.
The city and the Justice Department recently signed an agreement to overhaul the city's troubled police department.
Scott Greenwood, who negotiated on behalf of the city, says the briefings were frank and they were opportunities for officers to express their opinions.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office says the office would release a statement later Wednesday.
