North Las Vegas announces yearlong traffic-enforcement campaign

What officers will focus on

North Las Vegas police are joining Nevada’s Joining Forces traffic-enforcement campaign, with an announced enforcement period from October 10, 2026, through September 22, 2027. News 3 reported the department’s plans October 6.

The campaign targets impaired and distracted driving, speeding, seat belts, child-passenger safety and pedestrian laws. It uses coordinated, high-visibility enforcement events rather than a single continuous checkpoint.

The local context

News 3 reported that North Las Vegas recorded 21 traffic-related deaths in 2025. The department’s traffic officers responded to 59 major collisions involving serious injury or death; the account said speed was involved in 51% and DUI or alcohol in 32%, with factors sometimes overlapping.

Those figures refer to the department’s reported major-collision group, not all crashes in the Las Vegas area. The percentages should not be added together as separate categories.

Campaign dates are not individual patrol dates

The announcement establishes the broad enforcement period. It does not provide a complete public list of patrol locations or checkpoint times. This brief is based on News 3’s account of the department’s announcement; specific operations require later confirmation.
