Marshal’s Office

The Red River Marshal's Office employs officers that are committed to the fulfillment of department goals. To put it simply, "We help people and protect the community". We receive technical training in all aspects of Law Enforcement and are capable of handling any infraction of the law.  Town Marshal Jerry Hogrefe believes that public safety is a large arena that requires every discipline (police, fire and rescue) to work together to offer the best service possible. We do that very well here.  Marshal Hogrefe has been with the Marshal's Office over 20 years and not only maintains his Law Enforcement certification, but is also a volunteer firefighter and EMT.

“They call us Marshal’s to go with the old western atmosphere of the Town”, says Hogrefe.  We have the same powers and duties as a Police Department or Sheriff’s Office.  Our Marshals are friendly, professional, outgoing in the community, and always willing to answer questions or give directions. “We have great pride in what we do and how we do it – and it shows”.  We want everyone that passes through to have a safe and enjoyable vacation, we just ask that you please obey the laws of our community.

We offer MVD approved driving tests and DPS approved fingerprinting by appointment.  If you have a Police, Fire, or Medical emergency dial 911.  To report a suspected drunk driver anywhere in the state call #DWI from you cell – locally call (575) 754-6166.

 

Animal Control

For information on any Animal Control Issues contact Snider Sloan, Animal Control Officer or any of the Marshals at our business number (575) 754-6166.  Remember, don’t feed wild animals and always view wildlife from an distance.  Only place trash in dumpsters and secure the lids properly.  Never leave food or trash in your house, on your porch, or in your vehicle.

 

Communications Center

A division of the Red River Marshal's Office, the Communication Center has state-of-the-art communication equipment, a highly technical enhanced 911 system, and communication specialist that are available 24-hours a day, 365 days a year.   Our communications specialist are dedicated and committed to providing that crucial link between those who are in need of assistance and those who provide assistance. A sophisticated upgrade in 2007 was funded in part by the State of New Mexico and allowed for expanded coverage to many surrounding agencies, including contractual communications responsibilities with area police departments, fire departments, ambulances, and search and rescue teams.

Remember, when reporting an emergency stay on the line with the dispatcher until help arrives.  Tell what the emergency is, give your location, your name, call back number, and any other information that might be important - such as hazards or description of persons involved.  Above all, stay calm and keep yourself away from harm.
