The Doña Ana County Sheriff's Office provides comprehensive law enforcement services to the citizens of Doña Ana County. Our dedicated team of deputies works tirelessly to ensure public safety, maintain order, and enforce the law across all unincorporated areas and contract municipalities within the county. **Patrol and Traffic Enforcement** Our deputies are on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, patrolling county roads and neighborhoods. They respond to calls for service, conduct proactive patrols to deter crime, and enforce traffic laws to promote road safety. This includes responding to emergencies, conducting welfare checks, and assisting stranded motorists. **Criminal Investigations** The Criminal Investigations Division (CID) is responsible for investigating serious crimes such that occur within the Sheriff's Office jurisdiction. Our detectives are highly trained in crime scene processing, evidence collection, interviewing witnesses and suspects, and preparing cases for prosecution. They work closely with the District Attorney's Office to bring offenders to justice. **Civil Process** The Sheriff's Office is responsible for serving civil papers, including summonses, subpoenas, writs of garnishment, and protective orders. This ensures that legal proceedings can move forward efficiently and that individuals are properly notified of legal actions against them. **Specialized Units and Programs** To address the diverse needs of our community, the Doña Ana County Sheriff's Office operates several specialized units: **Gang Unit:** Focuses on the identification, investigation, and suppression of gang-related criminal activity. **DWI Unit:** Dedicated to enforcing laws against driving while intoxicated (DWI) to reduce alcohol and drug-related traffic fatalities and injuries. **SWAT Team:** A highly trained tactical unit that responds to high-risk situations, such as hostage crises, barricaded subjects, and active shooter events. **K-9 Unit:** Utilizes highly trained police dogs for various tasks, including suspect apprehension, narcotics detection, and search and rescue operations. **Community Engagement** Beyond enforcement, we believe in building strong relationships with the community. Our deputies participate in community events, offer crime prevention tips, and engage with residents to foster trust and collaboration. We encourage citizens to report suspicious activities and work together with us to keep Doña Ana County safe.
