The Albuquerque Police Department reached a settlement with the city and the Department of Justice in a case made public Friday. As a result, APD will overhaul its use of force policies, recruitment, training, internal affairs procedures and field supervision of officers.

The agreement is supposed to be filed in the U.S. District Court by Nov. 10. Mayor Richard Berry signed a 106-page document that provides terms and provisions that the APD is expected to follow.

Although the council does not have the power to block the agreement, Berry said he will personally recommend that the council support it.

"That doesn't mean it's going to be easy, or inexpensive, or without a hitch or stumbling block here and there," Berry told the Albuquerque Journal. "But I believe that we can all do this successfully."

Since Gorden Eden has been appointed as police chief, some of the requirements in the agreement have already been implemented by the department. Now, all officers are required to undergo crisis intervention training and can only carry department-issued firearms.

Other terms in the agreement include changes that require the APD to reinforce traditional police command structures. It will also open up the department to new voices in the area of mental health policies, according to the Albuquerque Journal.

Under the new agreement, APD will be monitored more closely. Its compliance to the Department of Justice, the city, the public and to a federal judged will be recorded.

With this new system, a force review board will be used to oversee internal affairs investigations and make recommendations on discipline to the chief. All officers and supervisors are to be held accountable for all use of force incidents.

For the last six months, the agreement has been discussed after a report on APD's use of force showed a pattern and practice of unconstitutional use of force and deadly force.
