TRAFFIC INITIATIVE!
Today, LVMPD officers were out conducting traffic enforcement near I-215 and Town Center Drive as part of the Southern Nevada Traffic Task Force. During the enforcement operation, officers encountered drivers who were speeding, distracted, and simply not driving safely.
These are the behaviors that can turn a routine drive into a serious or even deadly crash. When you are behind the wheel:
🚗 Slow down
📵 Put the phone away
👀 Pay attention
🔒 Buckle up
❤️ Make it home safe
You’ll continue to see our officers out across the valley working to make Southern Nevada roads safer. Pay attention, because once those red and blue lights get behind you, it’s too late!
TRAFFIC FATALITY REPORT!
Two lives were lost on our roads this week. Two families are now living with an unimaginable loss. Slow down. Stay focused. Buckle up. Never drive impaired.
Take responsibility behind the wheel. Make safe choices. Get home alive.
