The New Mexico State Police announced that it is set to conduct warrant round-up operations statewide. This operation is a proactive measure in attempts to apprehend individuals with outstanding warrants.

The New Mexico State Police is encouraging those individuals with outstanding warrants to address these matters voluntarily. By taking the opportunity to resolve the warrants, individuals can get ahead of an unexpected visit from New Mexico State Police Officers.

New Mexico State Police Chief Troy Weisler said, “Our goal is to conduct proactive warrant round-up operations statewide in order to create a safer environment for the public. I would encourage those with warrants to take care of these matters before causing unwanted disruption to their lives, especially close to this holiday season. My officers are committed to removing law-breaking individuals from the streets, and these types of operations are one way we can do that.”

Those with outstanding warrants are encouraged to contact the law enforcement agency or appropriate court to which the warrant was issued from.
