The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office is currently participating in the statewide Joining Forces Click It or Ticket campaign, taking place November 9 through November 30, 2026. Throughout the campaign, deputies are conducting increased patrols and targeted enforcement efforts to promote seat belt use and encourage motorists to make buckling up a priority every time they get behind the wheel.
Whether traveling across town or just a few blocks, wearing a seat belt is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect yourself in the event of a crash. Motorists are reminded that seat belts should always be worn properly, with the lap belt secured across the hips and the shoulder belt positioned across the chest. Improper use, including placing the shoulder belt behind the back or under the arm, can significantly reduce protection and increase the risk of serious injury. The Sheriff’s Office encourages all drivers to take a moment before every trip to ensure everyone in their vehicle is properly restrained.
The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office remains committed to reducing the number of fatalities on Nevada’s roads to zero by increasing public awareness about the dangers of speeding, driving unrestrained, impaired driving, distracted driving, and more.

The Nevada Department of Public Safety’s- Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) provides funding for law enforcement agencies to participate in Joining Forces to reduce traffic deaths.
