The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office is pleased to announce its participation in the Joining Forces traffic safety campaign, which unites 30 law enforcement agencies across Nevada to promote traffic safety awareness and enforcement. This campaign will run from October 2024 through September 2025, aiming to enhance road safety for all residents and visitors.
“As an office, we are committed to making Nevada’s roads safer for everyone—drivers, passengers, and pedestrians alike. Partnering in Joining Forces campaigns allows us to not only strengthen our efforts to reduce traffic incidents but also to expand our outreach in educating the public on safe driving practices, ultimately aiming to lower collisions and save lives within our communities,” said Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam.
Joining Forces is a high-visibility, multi-jurisdictional effort to increase safety on Nevada’s roads. The program focuses on increased awareness and enforcement of traffic laws, including distracted and impaired driving, seat belt use, speeding, pedestrian safety, motorcycle, bicycle, and other traffic laws. The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office is able to participate in the Joining Forces traffic safety campaign through a grant provided by the Nevada Department of Public Safety, Office of Traffic Safety and the National Highway Safety Transportation Administration.
