Impact analysis
If Hobbs needs more investigators or resources for these cases, that could mean more city spending—but there’s no price tag yet.
Sex-crime victims and Hobbs residents would benefit if the department gets the staffing and resources to handle cases better.
Victims could be harmed if cases stall, and taxpayers could be harmed if the city pays for a system that isn’t working.
