A New Mexico Legislative panel is set to get an update on an agreement to overhaul the Albuquerque Police Department.
The Courts, Corrections and Justice Committee is scheduled Friday to discuss a U.S. Justice Department blueprint over police reforms.
Representatives from the APD Forward Campaign, a group aimed at fostering community conversations on the coming changes, are expected to tell lawmakers about plans to adopt reforms.
The Justice Department and the city of Albuquerque recently signed an agreement to revamp the police agency following a harsh report into use of force.
