On July 7, 2026, the Pershing County Sheriff’s Office proudly participated in the Joining Forces traffic enforcement campaign, a statewide initiative funded through the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety.
The Joining Forces program brings law enforcement agencies from across Nevada together with one common goal: to reduce traffic crashes, serious injuries, and fatalities by increasing high-visibility traffic enforcement and public education.
These grant-funded enforcement efforts focus on the behaviors that contribute most to fatal and serious injury crashes, including speeding, impaired driving, distracted driving, seat belt violations, and other dangerous driving behaviors.
During this enforcement operation, deputies focused on speed enforcement throughout Pershing County. Speeding remains one of the leading factors in traffic crashes and significantly increases both the likelihood of a collision and the severity of injuries when crashes occur.
The Pershing County Sheriff’s Office is committed to making our roadways safer for everyone who travels through our county. While enforcement is an important part of traffic safety, our primary objective is education, voluntary compliance, and preventing crashes before they happen.
We encourage everyone to do their part:
•Obey posted speed limits.
•Slow down in work zones and residential areas.
•Eliminate distractions while driving.
•Always wear your seat belt.
•Never drive impaired.
These grant-funded operations are designed to save lives—not simply issue citations. By working together with our state and local partners, we can help ensure that everyone arrives at their destination safely.
Thank you for helping keep Pershing County’s roads safe.
