New Mexico Mayor pledges city money to keep party patrol in actionMost teens Sgt. Mike Geier meets don't think tasting their first beer a few years early will hurt anyone.
They figure it's a rite of passage, a risk worth taking in exchange for what they see as a social edge they gain from drinking.
"Of course they think adults are stupid for telling them not to drink alcohol, but it is a real threat to their safety," Geier said.
"We've seen the drinking lead to terrible things like fights, shootings and stabbings. Many of these kids drink and drive, which has impact on everyone in the community. Some of them overdose and die from alcohol poisoning. And it can also lead to unfortunate sexual assaults."
Mayor Martin Chavez announced Monday afternoon that more officers will immediately resume battling the underage drinking problem.
He pledged to fully fund the party patrol, a division in the Alburquerque, New Mexico Police Department supervised by Geier that cites underage drinkers and calls their parents to pick up the teens.
"To the teens who don't like this, we love them, and it's to save them," Chavez said. "Alcohol and kids don't mix. And when they do mix, we lose kids."
A series of state and federal grants paid for the program, which was spearheaded in 2001 by City Councilor Brad Winter. The program lost its funding in late June of this year.
The program was kept alive during the past few months by volunteers and patrol officers who used time when they weren't responding to more urgent calls, said Geier, who supervises the program.
By using part of savings from reduced overtime costs and other trims on the police budget, Chavez said, the city has enough money to again pay off-duty New Mexico officers to focus on underage drinking.
The program has run on a budget of $40,000 to $76,000 a year, depending on the grants available. Geier said the city's funding of the program will fall somewhere in that range, keeping officers watching over teens for at least the next year.
"I'm so proud of this because it works," said Winter, who is also a La Cueva High School assistant principal and one of the people who helped create the program. "Students come up to me all the time and say they aren't going out and drinking because they know the party patrol will catch them."
During the past 18 months, the patrol broke up about 500 parties.
The officers issued 3,300 misdemeanor citations and confiscated 15 handguns.
Nearly 60 percent of those parties were in the Northeast Heights, but Geier said that they break up parties in every corner of the city.
"West Side, University Area, South Valley, foothills. You name it, we've been there," Geier said. "And we pay special attention to homecoming games, days off from school and holidays."
About 16 party patrol officers work in two teams, dividing coverage of the east and west sides of the city.
They take tips from neighbors about teens drinking in homes, parks and arroyos. The officers have cited small groups of three or four teens in parks, and larger parties at abandoned warehouses with more than 300 teens.
Party patrol supervisors wrote an article for a national law enforcement publication about their efforts and were lauded for changing their tactics, which Geier said led to lower crime rates.
"We've gotten calls from several police departments from all over the country who want to know how we set up this program," Geier said. "Underage drinking is a national problem that we all have to take responsibility for solving."
Before the party patrol was founded, officers would break up parties but had no time to issue citations. Teens would run from the area or leave once officers made a brief appearance.
"They would just move on to the next party because they knew nothing would ever happen to them," Geier said. "Now they know the lingo. They ask if they're getting an `MIP,' which is our abbreviation for minor in possession citations."
Party patrol officers seal an area when they target a gathering, surrounding a house or other location before heading in so that no one can get away without seeing an officer. They sometimes launch criminal investigations to find the person providing the teens with alcohol.
And while misdemeanor citations rarely lead to hefty punishment in court, Geier said the phone calls to the teen's home often make a difference.
"A lot of times it's a wake-up call for the parents, who had no idea their kids were out drinking," he said.
"They tend to take it very seriously and hand out much stiffer punishment than anything we or the courts could do. Grounding a kid for six months definitely will keep them off the streets and make them think twice about drinking."
