BOSQUE FARMS — A familiar face is leaving the Bosque Farms Police Department after two decades of public service.
BFPD Chief Andew Owen announced his retirement from the department and law enforcement at the Feb. 19 village council meeting.
“It has been a great honor and privilege to serve the citizens of Bosque Farms the last 20 years,” Owen told the council last week. “Since July 2020, (the department has) made great strides in improving our technology, efficiency, recruitment and retention. I have worked tirelessly and diligently to make this the best small department in New Mexico.
“This group of men and women have dedicated themselves to the department, and are far better trained than officers at other departments. It was a difficult decision to make … the dedication of the officers and support of the community truly has made this the best department in New Mexico.”…
