El Paso police wrapped up a three-day warrant blitz last week with 125 people in custody across the city. Officers focused on people with outstanding traffic and criminal warrants, and the sweep also led to arrests for suspected DWI and evading arrest, according to city officials. The operation is part of a renewed local push on traffic enforcement and the broader goal of cutting traffic fatalities.
Department Posts Results on Social Media
In a Facebook reel posted May 29, the El Paso Police Department described the roundup as a joint, three-day effort that "reinforces the commitment to public safety, traffic enforcement, and the goal of zero traffic fatalities in El Paso," according to the El Paso Police Department. The department listed a total of 125 arrests, including traffic offenses, DWI, evading arrest, and other criminal warrants.
Warrant Sweeps Are Routine in the Region
Coordinated warrant roundups are a regular feature of law enforcement in the borderland, used to clear backlogged warrants and track down fugitives. The El Paso County Sheriff's Office reported more than 170 arrests in 2023 through its "Operation Safe Streets," an example of how agencies team up for these sweeps, according to the El Paso County Sheriff's Office. Local media have also highlighted past El Paso Police Department enforcement pushes, including a Memorial Day operation in 2025 that led to dozens of arrests and numerous DWI citations, as covered by KVIA.
What Residents Should Know
Anyone who thinks they may have an outstanding warrant is urged to contact the department's non-emergency line or check official court records for next steps. The El Paso Police Department provides a press room and a records portal with media and public contact information, and the El Paso County Court site explains how to search arrest records and address warrants.
Police did not immediately release a detailed, itemized booking list following the roundup. For now, the Facebook reel serves as the department's public notice of the operation, according to the El Paso Police Department. The agency is asking anyone with relevant information or tips to call the non-emergency line or use its anonymous reporting tools.
