Our deputies took the ghost trend to a whole new altitude. 👻🚁 Special shoutout to K-9 Hutch for making a cameo and proving he’s still the goodest boy, even as a ghost! 🐾 Happy Halloween from the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office! #GhostTrend #GoBCSO #HappyHalloween #fyp #copsofti

👻Do you know what’s scarier than ghosts and goblins? Spending Halloween weekend in jail. If your Halloween plans include drinking, make sure you have a safe way home. Designate a sober driver or use a rideshare service. Don’t let one bad decision turn a night of fun into a frightening situation.

Abuse can take many forms, including emotional, psychological, and technological abuse. Recognizing the signs is an important step toward connecting victims and survivors with support. During Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office encourages anyone experiencing

Recently, our Metro Air Support Unit assisted in recovering a man who died after falling while hiking and climbing in the Sandia Mountains. He was visiting from out of state and was an experienced mountaineer. The high elevation and narrow cliffside made reaching him especially challenging. Aboa

Some packages change the way we respond. BCSO is the first agency in the nation to receive 20 new @Skydio R10 interior drones, marking the next step in our growing partnership with Skydio and our commitment to safer, smarter policing. Built for unknown spaces. Built for better information.

That is what we call a crappy hiding spot. 💩 On April 1, the U.S. Marshals Task Force and BCSO deputies were looking for wanted subject Jesse Bilbao near 8010 Maplewood when he ran onto a property packed with sheds, vehicles, wood piles, and hiding spots. K9 Hulk narrowed it down to a homemad

Watch this one until the end. This is not just a drone video. This is the public safety technology ecosystem BCSO has been building, working exactly how it was designed to work. When an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon call came in from the North Area Command, BCSO’s Drone as First Res

Today we stood together at the Law Enforcement Memorial to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. We remember the fallen, we support the families who carry that loss, and we stand with every agency across New Mexico who continues to serve. We will never forget. #dep

Move along, move along... nothing too crazy to report here. The All-American Rejects brought their house party tour to Bernalillo County, a lot of people showed up, and somehow this very unique, very millennial-fueled situation went better than a lot of people expected. The band had private s

On April 28, a hiker located a deceased male near a stream on the La Luz Trail. North Swing, BCFR, BCSO Open Space, Homicide, OMI, and APD Open Space coordinated a technical recovery using rope systems and a wheeled basket to move the individual back to the roadway. Foul play is not suspected; no o

On April 23, 2026, APD requested assistance after two suspects fled from a vehicle stop and barricaded inside a garage in Albuquerque. Our K9 Unit responded to help bring it to a safe end. K9 Hulk, with his handler Deputy Jojola, was deployed after warnings were given. Both suspects surrendered

Are you ready, Class 48? We look forward to you joining us soon! This is what a real academy looks like. High standards, high stress, and drill instructors who are not here to babysit anyone. We’re building deputies who can think, move, and perform when things get chaotic. If you want comfor

Today, BCSO spent Earth Day doing something positive with our kids and our community. We partnered with @abeytasnursery to plant sapling trees at three APS schools with students and staff. This “Sapling Summit” was about showing up in a good way, putting in real work, and leaving something behin

Today, BCSO participated in a joint training exercise led by Albuquerque Fire Rescue, alongside New Mexico Search and Rescue and Rio Rancho Fire Department. The day started with a refresher on response fundamentals like communications, deployment, and how we operate together when seconds matter.

On March 20, deputies responded to the Coors and Barcelona area after a witness reported a man pushing a vehicle into a ditch. When deputies made contact, Oscar Manuel Marquez Jr. ran, ignored commands, and even grabbed onto the side of an uninvolved driver’s truck while trying to get away. He

Today, we remember Deputy Angelic Garcia, End of Watch March 4, 2001. This year, her remembrance comes while we are still grieving the recent line of duty death of Sergeant Michael Schlattman. And for our agency, it is a painful reminder of how much we have carried. In the last few years, we hav

Today, tow truck drivers from across New Mexico gathered at our East Area Command Center in solidarity and prayer after tragedy took one of our own. This is your reminder: under New Mexico’s Move Over Law if you see emergency lights on the side of the road — law enforcement, fire, EMS, tow truck

Thank you to every agency and every community member who stopped today to honor Sergeant Michael Schlattman during the procession to the funeral home. The love, respect, and support along the route meant more than words can say. His memorial will be held on Monday the 2nd, what would have been hi

This is the BCSO Metro Air Support Unit during annual Search & Rescue hoist rescue refresher training — one of the most technical, high-risk skillsets in public safety. Hoist rescues take experienced pilots, crew, and deputies working in perfect sync, with zero room for mistakes. They make it lo

Federal meetings. Local impact. Sheriff Allen and command staff are in D.C. meeting with our congressional delegation on public safety priorities and funding, and attending the National Sheriffs’ Association conference to bring best practices back to Bernalillo County. #BCSO #BernalilloCounty
