San Juan County Sheriff’s Office to Conduct DWI Checkpoint
San Juan County, NM - The San Juan County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with other law enforcement agencies, will be conducting a DWI checkpoint during September 2025. This checkpoint, as all checkpoints, is designed to identify and apprehend drunk drivers and to make the highways safer for the motoring public. We will also have increased DWI patrols throughout this month.
The San Juan County Sheriff’s Office strongly believes in the importance of saving lives through proactive strategies and encourages citizens to take an active role in their community and report suspected drunk drivers by calling 911. By working together, we can save lives.
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
