Jeremy Romero was a law enforcement officer who dared to cross the thin blue line in 2011 by reporting to
superiors at the state Department of Public Safety that he had seen one of his fellow agents in the Special
Investigations Division with a prostitute in a state-issued patrol car.
Romero lost his job for his trouble, according to allegations he made in a 2013 whistleblower complaint. According
to documents that only recently became public, New Mexico taxpayers lost, too. After waging a taxpayer-funded
legal battle against Romero for several years, the state Department of Public Safety agreed to pay Romero
$900,000 to settle the case out of court.
