Police checkpoints across New Mexico in October

Media Release, New Mexico State Police

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 October 2025.

 

We are bringing awareness to these events to reduce impaired 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.

 

Note: Hundreds of lives could be saved each year if every driver had the courage to make the right decision not to drive impaired.

 

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. This partnership strengthens efforts to enhance road safety and reduce impaired driving across New Mexico communities, creating safer roads for all. #ENDWI
