The Nevada Highway Patrol, Northern Command West, has received a grant in the amount of $95,500 from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration through the Nevada Department of Public Safety, Office of Traffic Safety.

This grant supports law enforcement’s participation in the Joining Forces traffic safety campaigns during the coming year.

Joining Forces is a high visibility, multi-jurisdiction statewide effort to increase safety on Nevada’s roads by increasing enforcement and awareness of traffic laws. The goal is to reduce crashes and save lives by focusing on impaired driving, distracted driving, seat belt use, speed and pedestrian safety.

Thanks to this grant award, the Nevada Highway Patrol, Northern Command West, will be able to team up with other area jurisdictions for a number of Joining Forces events running from October 1, 2021, through September 30, 2022.
Law enforcement personnel will continue to enforce traffic safety laws year-round as part of their commitment to reduce crashes and save lives. Whether you are a driver, a passenger, or a pedestrian, the Nevada Highway Patrol, Northern Command West, reminds everyone to make safety on our roadways a top priority.
