Detective Patrick Ficke – Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In July 2022, District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies filed a complaint against Detective Patrick Ficke with the New Mexico Law Enforcement Academy board, alleging misconduct. As a result, the District Attorney’s office lost faith in Ficke’s testimony, leading to the dismissal of dozens of criminal cases he had handled since joining the sheriff’s office in 2020. The specific nature of the alleged misconduct was not detailed in the available sources.
