This document outlines a strategic plan for Albuquerque Fire Rescue focused on workforce equity and addressing implicit bias, racism, and discrimination within the fire service. Mandated by City Council Resolution R 2075, the plan emphasizes professional development in anti-racist and equity best practices. Key pillars include conducting a self-analysis of policies, procedures, and hiring practices to identify and dismantle structural barriers, increasing diversity, and fostering an inclusive work environment. The plan aims to create a culture that humanizes individuals, promotes dialogue, and ensures equitable opportunities for all, supported by a racial Equity liaison team to address various forms of discrimination and drive continuous improvement.
