The police force of [[Albuquerque, New Mexico]] has been involved in a number of shooting incidents and has used other forms of force, many of these involving the use of [[SWAT]] teams. The city's police department was the subject of a Department of Justice Investigation in 2014 which found that the department "engages in a pattern or practice of use of excessive force, including deadly force, in violation of the [[Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Fourth Amendment]]".<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=2014-04-10|title=Full document: Department of Justice findings of APD|url=https://www.abqjournal.com/381868/full-document-department-of-justice-findings-letter-of-apd.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200615221526/https://www.abqjournal.com/381868/full-document-department-of-justice-findings-letter-of-apd.html|archive-date=2020-06-15|access-date=2020-06-15|website=www.abqjournal.com|language=en-US|url-status=live}}</ref> The report also stated that the department suffered from "structural and systemic deficiencies-including insufficient oversight, inadequate training, and ineffective policies".<ref name=":0" />
