A former official for Immigration Customs Enforcement was hired to train the Albuquerque Police Department to rely more on cooperation and less on force, the Albuquerque Journal reports.
Joe Wolf, 56, who oversaw training for ICE, will serve as the new training director for the Albuquerque Police Department agency.
The idea, Wolf said, is to improve interactions between police and the public.
“This is not an occupying army,” Wolf told the Albuquerque Journal. “There’s a disconnect with the military model of law enforcement training. We’re trying to create individual thinkers, not group movement … That’s a tall order.”
