Federal prosecutors say the city's police department was the main focus of a 15-year bribery scheme that also involved the sheriff's office and the state police.

KRQE News 13 has learned one of the officers who resigned last year connected to the federal investigation into the DWI Unit scandal now works for the New Mexico Children, Youth, and Families Department.

An Albuquerque police lieutenant placed on leave in a sprawling DWI corruption probe decided to retire before meeting with detectives on the matter.

The retirement comes the same day as an interview was scheduled with the Internal Affairs Task Force, according to police.

The man in charge of the FBI’s investigation into a DWI dismissal scheme mainly operated by members of the Albuquerque Police Department, at least two other law enforcement agencies, and legal professionals says the work is far from over.
