New Mexico Counties Receive $17 Million for Anti-DWI Programs

The DWI Grant Council has awarded more than $17 million to local governments throughout New Mexico.

The grant money is to be used by counties, cities, and pueblos for programs designed to reduce the DWI rate. The programs include DWI prevention, enforcement, alcohol-related domestic prevention, outpatient treatment, and alternative sentencing.

Local programs throughout the state have also pledged an additional $6.6 million in matched funds, which, combined with the $17 million from the DWI grant council, totals $24 million for local DWI programs for the next year.

The DWI grant program is administered by the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration.
