Senate Joint Memorial 3 requests the New Mexico Department of Transportation, in collaboration with the Department of Public Safety, to create a statewide program that designates specific highway segments as memorial corridors. These corridors will honor New Mexico state police officers who have been killed in the line of duty, with the first designation specifically honoring Officer Darian Jarrott on Interstate 10 in Luna County. The memorial signs will include the officer's name and rank, along with a message stating their sacrifice.
Additionally, the memorial calls for the Department of Transportation to utilize available funds, including private donations, for the fabrication, installation, and maintenance of these memorial signs. It also requests coordination with local governments and organizations for ceremonies and dedications. Furthermore, the Department of Public Safety is asked to maintain an official registry on its website that lists the names and dates of death of fallen officers alongside the corresponding memorial highway segments. Copies of this memorial will be sent to relevant officials and the families of the fallen officers.
