2024 Metro Crime Initiative
A system-wide call to action on gun violence, addiction, and domestic violence
Since 2021, the City has convened leaders in the criminal justice system through the Metro Crime Initiative (MCI) to create legislative priorities and action items to fix the broken criminal justice system.
Through the third Metro Crime Initiative, we are pursuing concrete actions in the 2024 legislative session that will make our communities safer.
On September 12, 2023, Mayor Tim Keller and APD Chief Harold Medina outlined specific and urgent requests to the state that will make a powerful difference in lowering crime in the Albuquerque.
City leaders added to their previously requested help from two years of work with local criminal justice leaders on multiple items designed to fill gaps to make Albuquerque safer.
