The Santa Fe County DWI program will unveil a new public awareness campaign during a press conference on Tuesday, December 23 at 11 a.m. at 2098 Galisteo St. to remind everyone to Think SaFe and not drink and drive because there is too much to lose with TwoTooMany.

Drunk drivers arrested for DWI after one previous drunk driving conviction will have their vehicle seized, face forfeiture of that car, and the car will be sold at auction. The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, Santa Fe Police Department and New Mexico State Police will discuss enhanced enforcement for the holidays and the number of people that lose their cars for drinking and driving TwoTooMany times.
