First Los Lunas Schools’ resource officer, Mark Garcia, retiring after 23 years
LOS LUNAS Mark Garcia said when he was assigned to be a school resource officer with Los Lunas Schools shortly after completing the police academy, he was less than excited.
“My initial intention was just to be a street police officer, just a patrol guy, detective division, whatever comes up in a career,” Garcia said. “As a lot of the other guys were getting night shifts, wing shift, patrol shift. I was assigned to the school and I didn’t really know how to take it.”
