New Mexico Thunderbirds News Release
ALBUQUERQUE, NM, Jan. 21, 2010 - The Albuquerque Thunderbirds will be hosting Albuquerque Police Department Party Patrol night on Saturday, Jan. 23. The team has been working with the Department during the last month to raise funds and awareness for the Party Patrol division of APD.
The Party Patrol is a component of APD's underage drinking program. It was started back in September of 2001 through the efforts of The Albuquerque Police Department and City Councilman Brad Winter. The Department recognized a need for improved enforcement efforts directed at combating underage drinking following the tragic deaths of teens who had attended unsupervised parties. Further research uncovered numerous incidents of disturbances, fights, shootings, sexual assaults and vehicle accidents that were associated with an underage drinking party.
The Thunderbirds will host games on Friday Jan. 22, and Saturday, Jan. 23. Each game will begin at 7 pm at Tingley Coliseum.
