Boulder City PD Cracks Down on Risky Driving in Statewide Safety Push

Traffic enforcement heats up across Nevada with year-long Joining Forces campaign
Boulder City drivers, consider this your official heads-up: the Boulder City Police Department is rolling out with a renewed focus on traffic safety, joining over 30 Nevada law enforcement agencies in the Joining Forces campaign — a statewide effort running October 2025 through September 2026.
Funded by the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety, the initiative isn't just about citations — it's about education, prevention, and keeping those scenic Boulder City roads safer for everyone, from daily commuters to Hoover Dam-bound tourists.
"We're committed to keeping Nevada's roads safe for everyone," says Sergeant John Glenn of BCPD. "This campaign helps us reach more people, more often, with life-saving traffic safety messages."
What's in the Radar
This campaign targets the usual suspects:
Impaired driving (think DUIs and buzzed drivers)
Distracted driving (yes, that one quick text can wait)
Seat belt compliance
Speeding and reckless driving
Pedestrian safety in high-foot-traffic zones
Thanks to grant funding from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, BCPD will step up both enforcement and community outreach — especially during key weekends and holidays when traffic risks tend to spike.
Local Roads, Statewide Impact
Locals know the stretch past Veterans' Memorial Park or down Nevada Way can get sketchy when people forget basic road rules. The Joining Forces effort is all about reminding drivers before a mistake becomes a headline.
Plus, this initiative isn’t just a Boulder City thing — it’s part of a multi-jurisdictional safety net blanketing Nevada. More visibility, more accountability, and fewer tragic outcomes.
So next time you're tempted to speed down Boulder City Parkway or cruise without buckling up — just know, BCPD might be watching. And it's not because they don't trust your parallel parking skills.
Stay safe, Boulder City. And maybe put the phone down.
