June.<\/p>\n<p>State Police officials said the enforcement efforts are part of an ongoing campaign to reduce impaired-driving-related crashes and fatalities in New Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>The checkpoints and patrols will take place in all New Mexico counties throughout the month.<\/p>\n<p>Officials said the goal is to increase public awareness about the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, while also encouraging drivers to make safe decisions before getting behind the wheel.<\/p>\n<p>The New Mexico Department of Transportation 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.<\/p>\n<p>State officials said the partnership is intended to strengthen road safety efforts and help reduce impaired driving in communities across New Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>Drivers are reminded to plan ahead, use a designated driver, call for a ride, or make other arrangements if they have been drinking or using substances that could impair their ability to drive.<\/p>\n<p>By John Krehbiel \u2013 Bravo Mic Communications \u2013 <a
