“In the past, I was informed that one of my officers was arrested for driving while he is intoxicated (DWI). This message is disappointing and deeply worrying. I would like to make it clear that nobody lies above the law, especially those of us who swore to support them. While my officers are human and make mistakes, they will also be because of the trust in the community.

Officer Diaz-Amaya was immediately transferred to administrative leave. Appropriate disciplinary measures are taken on the basis of the results of the examination. I realize that such incidents can damage the public's trust, and I will remain obliged to hold all of my civil servants for their actions for their actions. His behavior does not reflect the values ​​and integrity that define a police officer in New Mexico. Those who cloud this badge have no place in this agency. “
