Nevada State Police

As the clock struck midnight and Nevadans welcomed 2025, troopers with the Nevada State Police Highway Patrol Division were working to keep Nevada’s roadways safe. Preliminary results for the statewide New Year's Eve/Day “Drive sober, or it’s over” campaign that began at Noon on December 31, 2024, and ran through Noon, January 1, 2025: DUI arrests 49 Traffic stops 1,358 Citations 999 Other arrests 10 The number of arrests underscore the ongoing challenge of keeping our roads safe, and that through enforcement efforts and proactive strategies by the Highway Patrol, suspected impaired drivers were removed from our roadways. Troopers worked tirelessly, reinforcing the message that driving under the influence is not just a crime, it’s a gamble no one should take. As we move into 2025, the Nevada State Police Highway Patrol Division remains committed to its mission of saving lives and changing behaviors on our roadways. Drivers are urged to make safe choices, plan ahead, and never drive impaired. “Every decision you make behind the wheel matters. Weak choices lead to tragedy; strong ones save lives. Every time you choose to get behind the wheel, lives are in your hands.”

Troopers with the Nevada Highway Patrol will be out tonight across the state working to keep our roadways safe for you and your loved ones. Please celebrate responsibly. Plan ahead for a designated driver or use a rideshare or taxi. Let’s bring in the new year together safely. Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

As law enforcement leaders, our primary responsibility is to INSPIRE our teams, not to impress them. True leadership isn't about showing off our authority or achievements; it's about empowering our teams to reach their full potential. When we inspire, we foster a culture of trust, collaboration, and resilience. Let’s inspire greatness together!

Early this morning, we lost Officer Colton Pulsipher, a dedicated member of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, in a tragic crash caused by a wrong-way driver. Officer Pulsipher, 29, was heading home after his shift when the incident occurred. He leaves behind a wife and three children. This devastating loss underscores the critical importance of roadway safety and the profound impact of dangerous driving. As we mourn the loss of our brother, let this tragedy serve as another stark reminder to remain vigilant and responsible on our roadways. Our deepest condolences go out to Officer Pulsipher’s family, friends, and colleagues during this incredibly difficult time. His commitment to serving and protecting our community will never be forgotten. #EndOfWatch #LVMPD #RoadSafety #NeverForget
