The City of Henderson has launched a new traffic enforcement effort called Joining Forces to address speeding. From July 1 to July 20, Henderson Police will assign officers to patrol areas known for speeding and locations with frequent resident complaints, according to the City of Henderson.
The enforcement strategy was created in response to data from the Nevada Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "For more than two decades, speeding has been involved in approximately one-third of all motor vehicle fatalities," the agency stated. The Henderson Police Department is taking part in the Joining Forces program, a multi-jurisdictional effort focused on reducing traffic-related injuries and deaths by enforcing traffic safety laws, as reported by the City of Henderson.
The Henderson Police Department received a $179,000 grant from the Nevada Department of Public Safety – Office of Traffic Safety to support the 2025 Joining Forces program. The program focuses on increasing enforcement and public awareness about speeding and other unsafe driving behaviors. More information and related statistics are available on the City of Henderson’s official website.
