"Albuquerque\u2019s troubled police department has already had a hard time recruiting new officers.Most recently the department\u2019s recruitment unit posted a unique job description on its Facebook page.VIDEO:\u00A0APD recruitment post raises eyebrows\u201CYou work all hours of the day and night, and on your wedding anniversary, and on Christmas,\u201D it reads. \u201CPeople curse you, you can't curse back. People hate you, you can't hate back \u2026 if you stop for five minutes for lunch, and you\u2019re goofing off.\"This is how Albuquerque police were trying to attract potential officers, until the post vanished from the Facebook page Tuesday after the department was unable to be reached for comment.The damage may have already been done, though -- it was up for more than four weeks and shared more than 600 times. The post said it was copied from the Fraternal Order of Police. A modified version of the same post can be found on the websites of two FOP chapters.The statements were part of a longer post that could be found by going to the official Albuquerque police website, clicking on \u201CJoin the Albuquerque Police Department\u201D and going to the Facebook link.The post was front and center, also reading: \u201CYou have to solve major crimes in a day, or you\u2019re not doing your job \u2026 Pay isn\u2019t great. Hours are ridiculous. You probably won\u2019t get a summer vacation until you\u2019re on the job for 20 years.\u201DThe post was dated March 31, two weeks before the U.S. Department of Justice issued findings of its investigation into APD. The feds mention in their report that it\u2019s imperative the department continued to build on reforms and improve training, recruitment and internal review mechanisms.\u201CWe\u2019re going to hit the streets, do grass roots and have a multi-faceted approach to recruiting quality individuals,\u201D said Kevin Rowe, APD\u2019s commander in charge of recruitment.\u00A0"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
