State Police and Governor Susana Martinez are defending the Drunkbusters
hotline, after October statistics were released.
Last month, 1,339 calls came
into #DWI. Out of those tips, law enforcement made contact with 90 of the
reported drivers. That resulted in 16 DWI arrests for October from the program.
State Police Lt. Robert McDonald admits the numbers are misleading. He says the
numbers that are important are the arrests made every year from the program. The
governor stressed it's important to get drunk drivers off the streets in any
way possible.
There has also been a recent change for the program. Officers
responding to a tip can now call the person who reported the driver directly to
get more information. There is also an app available for iPhone and Android
smartphones. To find it, search ENDWI in your app marketplace.
