ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The Harvard Business School released a new case study featuring the accomplishments of Albuquerque Community Safety. The study recognized Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller for the "innovative creation" of the department saying it reimagined public safety and community well-being. Another locally-owned supermarket coming to International District Mayor Keller created ACS after tumultuous social justice protests in 2020. It's a first of its kind in the nation providing a non-police response to issues related to behavioral health, homelessness, and substance use. ACS Director Jodie Esquibel said this case study emphasizes the need to rethink public safety and prioritize a compassionate response.
