REAL POLICE BODYCAM footage captures a DUI suspect experiencing a severe mental health crisis while awaiting breath testing at a Santa Fe police station. This bodycam video documents the challenging intersection of law enforcement and mental health as officers attempt to complete processing while addressing suicidal statements. In this police bodycam footage from December 28, 2024, officers are processing Pamela Moreno for aggravated DUI at the Santa Fe Adult Detention Center following a traffic stop for a stop sign violation. What began as routine processing takes a concerning turn as Moreno begins expressing suicidal thoughts. An officer attempts to use emotional connection to stabilize the situation: "Look, Pamela, imagine that your babies are watching you right now and act right, please." This approach, captured on the bodycam, shows officers trying different tactics to maintain control of the situation while acknowledging the subject's emotional state. Moreno responds positively at first: "Yeah! Please. Thank you." But the officer clearly recognizes the risk, stating: "I don't want you to hurt yourself. Let's be realistic here. Please, stop it." This concern, recorded on police bodycam, demonstrates awareness of the mental health component emerging during processing. The situation deteriorates as Moreno begins repeating: "I die now. I die now. I die now." The officer instructs: "Hang out right there, okay?" but Moreno continues: "die now. Pamela. Look at... I die now. I die now." This concerning repetition, documented on bodycam, represents a clear mental health emergency developing during routine DUI processing. After a pause, Moreno reveals the source of her distress: "My don't want me... My babies don't want me. My babies don't don't want me no more." The officer attempts to regain control: "Pamela, you have to calm down. My babies- You have to calm down, okay?" This directive, captured on bodycam, shows the officer trying to redirect focus while acknowledging Moreno's emotional state. The officer reminds her of the procedural requirement: "I don't... We gotta do the breath test because you agreed to do one." Moreno continues expressing suicidal ideation: "I don't wanna live no more because my babies don't want me no more." The officer offers assistance: "You want me to talk to your babies?" but Moreno remains fixated: "My babies, they don't want me no... Okay, stop. My babies don't me no more." This police bodycam footage highlights the complex challenges officers face when subjects experience mental health crises during processing, requiring them to balance procedural requirements with immediate psychological safety concerns.
