West Texas law enforcement keeping an eye on New Mexico's recreational marijuana bills
KWES-TV
Recreational marijuana is illegal in 34 states, including the Lone Star state. This means if you're found with marijuana, state law allows prosecutors to press criminal charges. The penalty is anywhere from a misdemeanor charge, to jail time.
However, for our neighbors next door in New Mexico, recreational marijuana could soon turn into reality.
That's why our local law enforcement is keeping an eye out, but not changing anything as far as how they police.

'But that's the way we have always done it' is no longer good enough when it comes to incident action planning
International Public Safety Association
Incident management does not always result in the positive or desired outcomes we hoped for. Lots of things can go wrong during an event response; the scene can de-stabilize, people can get hurt, equipment can fail. In the aftermath of an event, the incident commander’s decisions may be questioned and challenge. Questions that may be asked include: Did you have a plan? Was it a reasonable plan? Did you follow the plan?
