EXTRA HELP -
Name: Kathy
Station type of work - The station
is very busy, lots of activities in all areas and a great
place to start your career in the patrol. Duties include
10 man ATV unit and a dedicated 10 man Sign cutting unit, highway interdiction and occasional checkpoints; occasional
bus checks; sign cutting; also have atv's,
horse patrol and canine units. All of the agents are very
helpful. Post academy class is held at the here at the station.
Terrain: Flat valley floors with scrub brush, mesquite, manzanita, etc., broken by large, high mountain ranges (Big Hachet is over 9000' elevation). Most of the area we patrol is rural ranch, therefore, no X's. A few roads traverse the area, and there are a couple of small towns.
Shopping - 6 convenience stores,
gas stations, major shopping needs to be done in nearby
towns (Deming, Silver City). Whatever you can't find there,
can be found in Tucson, Las Cruces or El Paso.
Eateries - 8 restaurants that serve
Mexican, and american food, 6 fast food restaurants (McDonalds,
etc)
Cellular Telephone -
Local Internet Providers -
Other Services - Great location for
outdoor folks, great hunting (from dove to white tail)
and great fishing. Hiking is also good. (Gila Cliff Dwellings/Gila
National forest is nearby) Silver City is an up and coming
artists community that the City Council is trying hard
to provide cultural for it's citizens. (Some call it a
small Santa Fe.) Due to this, it's a bit more expensive
then Deming to live. However, visit all three locations
and find out what's best for your living necessities.
Any other information that you would
like to add: Lordsburg is a small town on I-10, halfway
between El Paso and Tucson. Some of the agents do live
in the town but the majority live either in Silver City
or Deming (or places in between.) Lordsburg does have
an apartment complex that you can rent from but also has
Section 8 tenants. It's a matter of preference. Lordsburg
has tons of sunshine. If you want seasons, head up to
Silver City, high desert climate with snow, fall and the
sun. Deming's elevation is lower so it still has the desert
heat/weather.
