Albuquerque Sergeant's Retirement Amidst Mounting Misconduct Investigations
Albuquerque Police Sergeant Christopher Romero, who had been the subject of nearly two dozen misconduct investigations since his promotion five years ago, has retired amidst ongoing investigations into his alleged misconduct, including an inappropriate relationship with a 16-year-old girl. Romero's disciplinary file had been growing over his 19-year career, with previous incidents including a false imprisonment charge and timecard fraud. The Law Enforcement Certification Board is currently investigating Romero's police certification, which could result in its revocation.
