Print

State Police will be conducting sobriety checkpoints, saturation patrols and registration, insurance and driver’s license checkpoints in all New Mexico counties during the month of September.

“We are bringing awareness to these events to reduce alcohol related fatalities through continued media attention and intensive advertising,” an Aug. 27 New Mexico State Police press release reads. “These checkpoints are helping to change society’s attitude about drinking and driving. Hundreds of lives could be saved each year if every driver had the courage to make the right decision not to drink and drive.”
