ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - New Mexico law enforcement departments say they’ve created a most dangerous offender list to help them prioritize criminal prosecutions.

The Albuquerque Journal reports (https://bit.ly/2qctlgt ) officials had announced on Tuesday the new “Analysis-Led Recidivism Team.”

Once a suspect that’s part of the program is arrested, an alert will be sent to prosecutors so they can prioritize the case from the first appearance through the judgment and sentencing.

Some defendants will be targeted for a vigorous prosecution because they are accused of crimes that are spiking around the county.
