The board voted 8-1 to adopt draft 3 of the rules of procedure with a single edit: the word \"citizen\" was removed from a section on submissions. The motion to approve the rules (moved by Dr. Laden and seconded by Mr. Whismer) passed after a short discussion of posting drafts online and what constitutes a \"properly presented\" submission. One member opposed the measure.

Minutes from the board's prior meeting and other routine consent items also passed earlier in the meeting.

Separately, the board voted 8-1 to adopt the proposed SOAR committee charters, which create four committees designed to mirror sections of the ordinance that grant the board authority and duties. The chair urged members to consider which committees they will serve on and asked that committees be kept small enough to avoid triggering Open Meetings Act requirements for full-board deliberation.

During the discussion before the votes, board members raised procedural questions about whether draft documents must be posted online before meetings, who counts as an \"outside entity\" for distribution of drafts, and how to balance majority rule with protections for minority viewpoints. County staff and the chair clarified that the county follows a 10-day public-notice practice (the Open Meetings Act minimum is 72 hours) and explained that \"outside entities\" includes state and federal agencies, school boards, the media and similar recipients.

The chair recorded the votes as eight in favor and one opposed for both measures; the dissenting member said, \"It's, no,\" during roll call. With the actions passed, the board adopted the new procedural rules and committee charters and plans to finalize committee assignments at the next meeting, tentatively set for Friday, June 13 at 1 p.m.

Ending: The board adjourned after approving the measures and scheduling the next meeting; members were urged to review committee charters and come prepared to volunteer for assignments at the June meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","(4/11/2025) Sheriff's Office Advisory and Review Board","oneSentenceSummary","The Bernalillo County advisory board approved a revised rules-of-procedure document (draft 3, with one-word amendment) and adopted four SOAR committee charters.

Allen said the sheriff's office has built dashboards to track metrics across units ' including missed court appearances, body-camera activation and case outcomes ' and that the tools will let supervisors and a forthcoming compliance officer spot trends and intervene. \"We have a dashboard up where we can see what people have turned in their body cams on and off,\" Allen said, adding that the compliance officer will help coalesce data and audits across commands.

The sheriff asked advisory-board members to participate in the interview panel for the compliance-officer position, calling for interviewers who can spot conflicts of interest and help restore community trust. Allen said Major Burke and undersheriff Holly Anderson will be involved in the hiring and that Major Burke will arrange interview dates.

Major Burke, who described his background running the sheriff's training academy and later working at the University of New Mexico Police Department, said the dashboards will set individual benchmarks for deputies and enable supervisors to identify and address problems earlier. \"As an individual deputy, I can look at a dashboard ' I can see what I'm expected to do,\" Burke said, adding the system will make accountability and metrics more transparent to the public.

Allen also described plans to expand a drone-first-responder (DFR) program. He said the program will require Federal Aviation Administration approval to operate beyond visual line of sight and that deputies designated as drone pilots will be tightly screened. \"Once we get permission from the FAA, we'll be able to expand our program,\" Allen said. He told the board a forthcoming media release may detail a recent incident in which a drone \"saved a lot of lives,\" and that the office expects to publicize that story in the next two to three weeks.

On court attendance and case outcomes, board members urged coordination with external partners. Dr. Layden asked how the sheriff's office coordinates with the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) and local prosecutors to detect patterns such as repeated dismissals tied to the same attorneys or judges. Allen said he is working with the CJCC and with District Attorney Sam Brenkman on extradition and related efforts, and that the dashboards will flag attorneys and patterns to allow further review.

The sheriff also addressed staffing and overtime: he said the department currently has about 25 vacancies and described plans to overhire and create a rotational staffing process to reduce overtime. Allen said the office will continue training and administrative remedies where dashboards show problems such as missed court appearances.

Board members pressed for external coordination. A member who monitors court processes recommended integrating courtroom check-in data to reduce dismissals when deputies are present in multiple courtrooms. Allen acknowledged judges with higher dismissal rates will come under scrutiny as part of accountability efforts, and said he expects to see measurable improvements by summer into fall as dashboards and training take effect.

No formal board action was taken on these items during the meeting; the discussion was informational and focused on next steps for hiring and technology implementation.

Ending: Allen closed by reiterating the sheriff's preference for transparency and measured, sustainable partnerships with other agencies. He declined to deputize National Guard troops or to accept large temporary activations that could introduce liability, saying he gave the governor \"a hard no\" on large-scale National Guard deployments in local neighborhoods and prefers sustainable, accountable approaches to public-safety support.","Sheriff Allen told the Bernalillo County advisory board that the office is building dashboards to track court attendance, body-camera use and other indicators, will hire a compliance officer with board participation in interviews, and plans to expand a drone first-responder program pending FAA approval.","actionData","errors"]
