Washoe County, NV – A coordinated traffic enforcement operation led by the Sparks Police Department, Nevada State Police, and Washoe County Sheriff’s Office resulted in more than a hundred citations and one arrest Monday during a joint safety sweep across the Sparks area.
According to the Sparks Police Department, the effort—supported by a Joining Forces grant—targeted key corridors including Pyramid Way, McCarran Boulevard, Sparks Boulevard, and Vista Boulevard. Officers focused on identifying speeding, distracted driving, and other high-risk violations impacting commuter safety.
Over several hours, the collaborative patrol led to 123 traffic stops, resulting in 118 citations for various violations and one arrest on an outstanding warrant. The operation aimed to improve road safety and raise driver awareness ahead of the week’s commute.
Nevada State Police said similar enforcement efforts are planned in coming weeks, especially along high-traffic corridors where crashes and complaints have been on the rise.
Residents are reminded to follow posted speed limits and avoid distracted driving as police continue statewide safety initiatives through the Joining Forces program.
