More than 25 law enforcement agencies in Nevada are participating in Joining Forces will be cruising the state’s roadways between now and Jan. 6.

Officers will be targeting impaired drivers who not only pose threats to themselves, but innocent passengers and other road users.

Officers said the holiday season continues to be the most hazardous period on the nation’s roadways for impaired driving. One reason is because of the number of holiday parties and celebrations.

Here are tips to keep the community safe:

• Consider a non-alcoholic party

• Designate sober drivers, not drivers who agree to drink less

• Hire licensed caterers trained to judge guests’ alcohol consumption

• Reserve a block of hotel rooms

• Plan a safe and sober way to return to your home before going out

• If you see a drunk driver, contact local police by calling NHP or 911

• If people you know are about to drive impaired, take their keys and help get them a ride with a sober driver.
