‘Tis the season that family and friends gather to celebrate the holidays, and the season that the Artesia Police Department will continue to try to accomplish items such as special assignments, concentrated patrols, and sobriety check points during December 2021. We ask for the motoring public to make good decisions even before climbing behind the wheel of an automobile after having consumed alcoholic beverages. We will concentrate on crimes such as DWI, open container, seat belt violations, and texting while driving. Please be safe and have a Happy Holiday season!
