GRANTS, N.M. The Grants Police Department will be conducting DWI sobriety checkpoints, DWI saturation patrols, Speeding and Seatbelt Enforcement (STEP & BLKUP) operations within the City of Grants, New Mexico during the month of May, 2026.
We are bringing awareness to these events in an effort to reduce alcohol and drug related crashes and fatalities through continued media attention and intensive advertising. These checkpoints are helping to change society’s attitude about drinking and driving and we remind motorists that, “Hundreds of New Mexico State Citizen’s lives could be saved each year if every driver had the courage to make the right decision not to drink and drive.”
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 The Grants Police Department reminds you that if you drink to always designate a driver.
