(Deming) – Law enforcement officers from the Luna County Sheriff’s Department and the Deming Police Department will be participating in special drunken driving enforcement initiatives this month.
Sheriff’s Lieutenant Joy Mullins said the Sheriff’s Department’s enhanced coverage is running throughout March, while Deming Police Chief Brandon Gigante said the PD is focusing its saturation patrols around St. Patrick’s Day – March 17th and 18th.
Gigante said his officers will be looking for alcohol-related offenses as well as other traffic offenses, with overtime monies supplied through an Operation DWI grant from the New Mexico Department of Transportation.
Mullins said they are conducting saturation patrols and checkpoints with Operation DWI funds as well.
In addition, Mullins said, they are conducting traffic enforcement with extra funds from the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program – or S.T.E.P. – traffic safety grant.
Mullins reminded drivers to always buckle up, observe posted speed limits and never drive impaired.
