The city of Deming, New Mexico has come together to start meth watch, a program that has everyone looking out for methamphetamine users.

To promote this, community members involved have started posting signs along the road.

Unfortunately, many drivers may not be getting the message.

Deming residents and law enforcement have teamed up to put together meth watch.

Similar to a neighborhood watch, meth watch would have residents within Deming reporting meth users to local law enforcement.

The reason for the program, according to Deming law enforcement, is that meth use is a growing problem in their community.

"Yes, we have found homes here in Deming that have been known to manufacture methanphedimene," said Deputy Eddie Apodaca from the Luna County Sheriff's office.

Which is why the community decided to start a meth watch program.

"We are asking for information from the people, who call in or report suspicious activity if you know someone who is selling it or someone who is using it, call us and let us know and we will make the right contacts," Apodaca said.

In order to let people know about the program, they have posted signs up in the community, unfortunately, they are so small that many people we spoke with who have driven by say they haven't noticed them.

"I pass this area everyday, and I never noticed that I mean it is kinda small so you don't really notice it," said Robert Gallosa, a Deming resident.

But, local law enforcement is also posting their number in the local newspaper to help residents be more aware of what they call a growing meth problem in their community.

If you know of a meth problem you want report to the Luna County Sheriff's Office you can call them at 505-546-2655.
