The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has announced its participation in the statewide Joining Forces campaign, which aims to promote traffic safety awareness and increase enforcement efforts across Nevada. The initiative involves 37 law enforcement agencies and will run from October 2025 through September 2026.
Sheriff Dan Coverley stated, “Together, we can build safer roads where every family gets home, every trip ends without tragedy, and no life is lost to haste or carelessness. Douglas County is growing rapidly, which brings more traffic and more incidents, including crashes. Through our dedicated patrols and public education efforts as part of Joining Forces, we’re committed to driving those numbers down to zero and saving lives through education, enforcement, and example.”
Joining Forces is a collaborative effort that focuses on improving safety on Nevada’s roads by increasing both awareness and enforcement of traffic laws. The program targets issues such as distracted driving, impaired driving, seat belt use, speeding, pedestrian safety, motorcycle and bicycle regulations among others.
The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office participates in this campaign with support from a grant provided by the Nevada Department of Public Safety’s Office of Traffic Safety along with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
