Cibola County DWI

  Through strong partnerships with multiple programs, agencies, and providers we aim to help DWI and Domestic Violence Offenders successfully complete programs that will help them to break the cycle of abuse. Our mission is to reduce the number of DWI's, alcohol-related crashes/fatalities in Cibola County. We also will work closely with our community and its schools to prevent underage drinking and drug use by raising awareness and educating community members of all ages. 

   The Cibola County DWI Program is funded through grants and distribution funds. These funds are provided by the State of New Mexico's Department of Finance Administration (DFA) under the Local Government Division (LGD) and the Local Driving While Intoxicated Program (LDWI). This funding is derived from 45% of the State's Liquor Excise Tax. It is distributed to DWI Programs across the State of New Mexico to programs like ours. 

Joanna Pena is the new DWI Compliance Coordinator for Cibola County.  She has ten years of experience in Corrections, nine years of experience in the Mental Health field, six years working as a case manager, and nine years of supervisory experience.  Additionally, she worked for five years as a Program Director for non-profit agencies. 

"I feel that every job I held previously has led me to this one.  I am excited about the opportunity to serve Cibola County residents.  I look forward to growing the program and working closely with Law Enforcement and the Courts."
