The Carson City Sheriff’s Office along with other law enforcement agencies throughout the State, will be participating in Joining Forces through the rest of the month of May. The focus of the event will be seatbelt safety “Click it or Ticket.”
Grant Funding for this event is provided by the Nevada Department of Public Safety-Office of Traffic Safety. These monies are used to pay for additional deputies who will be out looking for drivers and passengers who are not wearing their seatbelts when stopped for traffic violations.
Joining Forces is a multi-jurisdictional law enforcement program that promotes statewide enforcement in the areas of DUI, distracted driving, seat belt use, speeding and pedestrian safety. The goal of these enforcement campaigns is to save lives by increasing public awareness about the dangers of making poor choices while driving.
