“These numbers reflect more than just statistics; they represent safer communities, lives saved on our roadways, and accountability for those who choose to break the law,” NMSP Chief Troy Weisler said. “I’m incredibly proud of our officers for the work they’re doing every day across New Mexico.”

New Mexico State Police remain committed to sustaining this momentum and continuing to deliver results for the people of New Mexico. As we enter the remainder of the year, our mission remains clear: protect and serve with courage, compassion, and integrity.
