Tours

Have you been contacted by a person claiming to be a court employee who states that you are not in compliance with an order of the court because you missed a court date or did not pay? Keep yourself safe from cyber criminals imitating court telephone numbers (“spoofing”) who demand payment! Anyone who receives a suspicious phone call should hang up and verify the status of their case using the NMCourts Case Lookup tool. You can also contact the court directly or call court customer service at: 855-268-7804. Remember: you can always see a Judge to address your outstanding issues.

The Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court welcomes tour groups of all types interested in visiting our courthouse and learning about the criminal justice system.

The court is regularly visited by school groups of all ages, community, and neighborhood groups. Guided tours of the courthouse are easily arranged by calling Camille Baca at 505-841-9897 at least two weeks in advance of the time you plan to visit.

School groups are usually limited to about 25 children at a time, with additional adults required when the students are young. Larger groups can be accommodated with enough advanced notice. Children under the age of seven usually do not enjoy a tour of the court as much as older kids and adults, but we try to tailor our narratives to the interest and comprehension levels of our visitors.
