From the Chief: Winter is coming

You never know what the weather is going to be like up here on the mountain and you really won’t know if you don’t check.

It is time to get yourself and your vehicle prepared. Check your tires, wiper blades and your windshield wiper fluid. Put some essentials in your vehicle like water, food and some warm clothes.

Even in the Village, you could find yourself in a situation where those things might come in handy.   

Darren Hooker is chief of the Ruidoso Police Department.
