EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – New Mexico State Police (NMSP) will be conducting sobriety checkpoints, saturation patrols, and registration, insurance, and driver’s license checkpoints in all New Mexico counties during June.
NMSP said these events bring awareness to reduce drunk driving-related fatalities through continued media attention and intensive advertising.
“These checkpoints are helping to change society’s attitude about driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs,” read the news release by NMSP.
Additionally, the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) Traffic Safety Division provides overtime grant funding to local law enforcement agencies for traffic safety enforcement, training, education, and equipment in high-risk areas statewide.
NMSP said this partnership strengthens efforts to enhance road safety and reduce impaired driving across New Mexico communities, creating safer roads for all.
