NHP beefs up enforcement to catch drunken drivers

In an effort to identify impaired drivers who may get behind the wheel after consuming too much alcohol, additional Nevada Highway Patrol troopers, as well as a multi-agency DUI checkpoint, are being scheduled this month.

With a federally funded Joining Forces grant secured by the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety, NHP will schedule and staff additional troopers to patrol Northern Nevada highways on the weekends of Dec. 15 and Dec. 22.
