What We Do

Since 1985, Safer has effectively coordinated innovative programs and partnerships which promote the use of law enforcement, marketing campaigns, media relations, training, and advocacy to increase occupant protection and decrease injuries. Safer has statewide name recognition as well as a solid reputation for taking on tough, innovative, worthwhile projects aimed at reducing injuries and promoting safety. Safer is an effective voice in acquiring cooperation from law enforcement personnel, healthcare professionals, grassroots activists, educators, and caregivers while disseminating information to the citizens of New Mexico. It is evident that Safer has played a significant role in improving safety for the families of New Mexico.

Safer has established three divisions: Law Enforcement, Community Education and Outreach, and the Injury Prevention Resource Center. The primary objectives are to:

1. Coordinate enforcement, engineering, and education efforts by building and sustaining community collaborations;
2. Improve and make consistent the training available to New Mexico law enforcement personnel, healthcare providers, EMS professionals, and child safety advocates;
3. Increase a community's capacity to address fatal and non-fatal injuries;
4. Increase New Mexico's seat belt and child restraint usage rates; and
5. Decrease the number of alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes throughout the State.
