Central Santa Fe County – Thursday, April 14, 2022
You Drink, You Drive, You Go To Jail
Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza announced that sheriff’s deputies will conduct a DWI Sobriety Checkpoint Thursday, April 14, 2022, as part of a community safety operation in conjunction with the Santuario de Chimayo Pilgrimage.
This law enforcement operation will be conducted in north-central Santa Fe County. Deputies will look for impaired drivers and intensify enforcement of all traffic infractions.
Sheriff Mendoza reminds the motoring public to be hyper vigilant this week as pilgrimage walkers are already making the trek to the Santuario in Chimayo.
Please, do not to drink and drive, do not speed, and obey the speed limit. Also, make sure that every passenger in the vehicle is properly restrained with an appropriate passenger restraint.
If you consume alcohol be sure to use a designated driver.
Reducing the number of persons killed or injured in alcohol and other drug-related traffic crashes is a public safety priority for the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office and this week is high-risk for pilgrims and motorists.
DWI is one of our communities most serious and lethal crimes.
Sobriety checkpoints are a tool to help keep our community safe.
Hundreds of lives could be saved each year if every driver had the courage to make the right decision not to drink and drive. #ENDWI
