Silver City -- Silver City Chief of Police, Freddie Portillo, and Fire Chief Milo Lambert are once again urging residents to take extra care to avoid thefts, traffic citations and even personal injury. The holidays may be merry, but also fraught with added stress, and more opportunity for local burglaries, larceny and theft, not to mention increased fire safety hazards. Both offered tips for a safe, secure holiday season.
"First, drivers need to slow down and pay attention to driving," said Chief Portillo. "Officers are being very proactive, watching for speeding motorists, people rolling through stop signs or trying to beat red traffic lights. We will be citing unsafe drivers, heavily enforcing DWIs, and conducting selective traffic enforcement patrols throughout the holiday season. So slow down, obey traffic signs and signals and help keep everyone safe this holiday season."
