The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office is participating in a regional Joining Forces event focused on impaired driving. This enforcement campaign aims to increase awareness about the dangers of driving under the influence.
From July 1st through July 20th, 2024, the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office and other regional law enforcement partners across the state will dedicate extra patrol resources to this special enforcement and awareness effort.
The goal of the Sheriff’s Office in participating in this campaign is to educate the public and enforce DUI laws to make our community’s roads safer for everyone. We remind drivers that driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is never safe and can have severe, even deadly, consequences. To ensure your safety and that of others, please plan ahead by using ride-share options, public transportation, or designating a sober driver.
This campaign is made possible by a Joining Forces grant from the Nevada Department of Public Safety/Office of Traffic Safety. Joining Forces is a multi-jurisdictional law enforcement program aimed at reducing injuries and crashes through statewide enforcement in the areas of DUI, speed, distracted driving, seat belt use, and pedestrian safety.
