The Alamogordo Police Department released its weekly activity log covering January 12 to January 18, 2026, detailing police responses, incidents, and arrests during that period. As with typical weekly reports from the department, the document lists various calls for service, criminal investigations, and enforcement actions without always providing exhaustive details on every minor call.
Key highlights from the week’s reported activities include a range of offenses commonly seen in local blotters, such as property crimes, drug-related violations, domestic disturbances, and warrant executions. Specific incidents anonymized from the report reflect ongoing community challenges:




• Property Crimes and Thefts: Several reports involved larceny, burglary, or unauthorized entry attempts, with incidents occurring at residential and commercial locations. Items targeted included personal property and valuables, with some cases involving recovered evidence or ongoing investigations.
• Drug-Related Offenses: Multiple arrests stemmed from possession of controlled substances (including methamphetamine and other narcotics), drug paraphernalia, and related charges. Some incidents escalated from traffic stops or public contacts where substances were discovered.
• Domestic and Violent Incidents: Police responded to reports of domestic violence, assaults (including aggravated battery), and disturbances involving household members or disputes. These often led to arrests for battery, criminal damage, or protective order violations.
• Warrant and Probation Violations: A notable portion of arrests involved individuals served with outstanding municipal or magistrate court warrants for failure to appear, failure to pay fines, or probation violations during routine contacts or targeted enforcement.
• Traffic and DWI-Related Enforcement: Officers conducted stops resulting in arrests for driving while intoxicated (DWI), reckless driving, open container violations, and other traffic offenses. Some crashes or stops also uncovered additional charges.
• Other Enforcement Actions: Additional incidents included disorderly conduct, resisting or obstructing officers, trespassing, and public order violations. Supplemental reports may cover follow-ups on prior cases or community assistance requests.
The log reflects a continuation of patterns observed in recent weeks, where drug offenses, warrant service, and domestic-related calls frequently dominate arrest statistics. No major unusual spikes or high-profile events (beyond routine enforcement) were highlighted in the document’s structure.
