BOLO translates to "be on the lookout"
in the law enforcement field.  

This page replaces Crimes Scenes in
our restructuring.  

While we continue to work in
cooperation with the Law Enforcement
officials of Artesia, Eddy County and
New Mexico, we will not necessarily
publish every incident that is reported.

Instead, we will focus on the activities
of law enforcement, including arrests,
convictions, and crime sprees that
most seriously impact our community.

Your input and comments are greatly
appreciated.

The Amber Stick is basically a USB flash drive and ID

you literally have everything at your fingertips to aid law

This is definitely something you would rather have and
never need, than need even once and not have.

"Speak Up New Mexico" program to combat school violence
Attention Students, Educators and Parents:

As many of you know, school violence is on the rise in America, it takes place in large cities as well as rural
schools nationwide. This is a major concern to everyone. These acts of violence must be stopped in the early
stages to prevent injury or even death to students and staff.

A recent study by the US Secret Service found that in 81% of school shootings the attackers tell other students
about their plans beforehand.

Because some students do not feel comfortable reporting this information to school officials, parents or the local
police this critical information that could save many lives, goes unspoken.

As of November 18th, 2008, The New Mexico Department of Education has launched an organization titled,
“Speak Up New Mexico”. This is a 24 hour hotline which is attended by professional crisis counselors.

Once a call is received, a detailed report on the incident is documented and in turn reported to appropriate law
enforcement officials as well as the affected school. This information will be provided via phone and/or faxed.

I urge anyone that has any information on school violence to contact this hotline, school officials, or a law
enforcement agency as soon as possible.

This hotline is primarily for acts of school violence, a weapon on campus, bomb threats, or threatening behavior
or comments.

Keep in mind that any criminal activity information is valuable to the Artesia Police Dept. and this information is
always welcomed.
