The New Mexico State Police (NMSP) will be conducting sobriety checkpoints, saturation patrols, and registration, insurance, and driver’s license checkpoints across all counties throughout October. These efforts aim to enhance road safety and reduce impaired driving-related fatalities.
By raising awareness through media coverage and advertising, NMSP hopes to change public attitudes about driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The checkpoints are part of a larger effort to encourage responsible driving decisions.
NMSP emphasizes that hundreds of lives could be saved annually if all drivers chose not to drive while impaired.
