Las Vegas, NV – Law enforcement agencies across Southern Nevada announced a unified traffic safety effort today with the launch of the new Southern Nevada Traffic Task Force, aimed at reducing crashes and removing unsafe drivers from area roadways.
According to the Nevada State Police – Highway Patrol Division, the announcement was made during a Wednesday briefing led by Major Kevin Honea, who joined regional partners in outlining the collaborative strategy. Agencies from across Clark County, including departments serving Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and surrounding communities, will coordinate enforcement and share data to address the region’s rising roadway risks.
Officials said the task force will prioritize violations most often linked to serious crashes, including impaired driving, excessive speeding, distracted driving, and aggressive behavior behind the wheel. According to police, the coordinated approach is expected to help reduce fatalities and improve safety for the more than 2 million people who live, work, and travel throughout Southern Nevada.
The program will also include targeted enforcement periods, public awareness campaigns, and real-time information sharing between agencies. Police said these joint efforts will allow faster deployment of resources in high-risk areas based on current traffic trends.
Major Honea emphasized that the initiative is designed to protect both residents and the nearly 40 million visitors who travel through the Las Vegas Valley each year. Additional details, including operational schedules and enforcement zones, are expected to be released in upcoming briefings.
Residents are encouraged to follow Nevada State Police updates for upcoming enforcement dates and ongoing safety initiatives.
