Posted on December 23, 2024

EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The El Paso Police said they will be “ramping” up traffic enforcement during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, thanks to a state grant.

The Police Department received a $220,000 grant for Fiscal Year 2024-25 through the Texas Department of Transporation Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP).

“STEP aims to reduce collisions by focusing enforcement efforts on DWIs. Officers will be targeting all traffic violations, with a particular focus on Driving While Intoxicated offenses. If you drink, please do so responsibly. Let’s keep each other safe during this holiday season and make sure everyone gets home safely,” according to a news release sent out by the Police Department.
