Las Cruces police will conduct at least one saturation patrol between the dates of Tuesday, Dec. 24, and Wednesday, Jan. 1.
Saturation patrols held by the LCPD are intended to reduce and eliminate the number of motorists who drive while intoxicated.
Officers also will be on the lookout for other traffic safety violations such as drivers using cell phones, and those who fail to properly utilize seatbelts and child safety seats.
Las Cruces Police encourage those who plan on consuming alcoholic beverages to use a designated driver – someone who will not be drinking alcoholic beverages – for their transportation needs.
