Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has received a $65,000 grant from the Nevada Department of Public Safety, Office of Traffic Safety to participate in joining forces traffic safety campaigns during the coming year.

This is a multi-jurisdictional statewide effort to increase safety on Nevada’s roads by increasing enforcement and awareness of traffic laws.  The goal is to reduce crashes and saves lives by focusing on impaired driving, distracted driving, seat belts, speed and pedestrian safety.

The money will be used from now through next September on beefed up enforcement.
