LAS VEGAS — Nevada continues to improve road safety with multi-agency traffic safety programs and data-driven deployment.
In 2026, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is increasingly using data-driven deployment and safety technology for specific corridors. Deployment into high-crash corridors is driven by crash data, traffic studies, school zones, and public safety initiatives. For example, in 2021, the state had trialed the use of AI to inform the strategic placement of police and messaging signs along high-risk Nevada highways. The trial found an 18 percent reduction in crashes and a 43 percent reduction in speeding.
In late 2025, the new Southern Nevada Traffic Task Force was formed, comprising the LVMPD, the Nevada State Police Highway Patrol Division, the North Las Vegas Police Department, the Henderson Police Department, and the Clark County School District Police. Since its launch in December, the enforcement task has conducted more than 2,700 traffic stops and issued more than 3,000 citations.
The LVMPD announced it will implement a comprehensive new traffic safety strategy that relies on radar and other traffic-monitoring tools to clock speeds and issue citations.
