What happens in Vegas... 🤦🏻♂️ This evening the DUI Strike Team arrested this driver on suspicion of DUI, and yes that’s a pedestrian bridge, for people not cars.

The pregnant horse on Mt Charleston that was caught on our dash cam last month has finally given birth a few days ago. If you visit Mt. Charleston watch your speed, there’s a little one running around up there.

We are deeply saddened to report that 2 Nevada State Troopers conducting a motorist assist earlier this morning in Las Vegas were struck by a vehicle and have been confirmed deceased. The investigation is currently on-going and being conducted by LVMPD.
Yesterday a NHP Trooper on patrol saw something in the left shoulder. He circled back and found a American Flag. The Trooper who is also a military veteran retrieved the flag and took it to a local American Legion Lodge so the flag could have a proper retirement ceremony. 🇺🇸

Only in Nevada! These horses were out for a stroll on SR158 near Lee Canyon. It’s very important to observe the speed limit when on the Mt Charleston. We want to protect our wildlife so everyone can enjoy them for years to come. The brown horse is pregnant.

Today we stopped a local funereal home hearse in the HOV lane. The driver had the dearly departed in the back, he thought the deceased could be counted as two people. I guess we should clarify this, living, breathing people count for the HOV lane. The driver was given a warning

This car was cut off by a reckless driver on US95. The vehicle pictured ran off the road and rolled several times. All 3 occupants were wearing seatbelts and received only minor cuts and scratches from the glass. Wear your seatbelt, everytime!

NHP Troopers found this poor little girl running around on the I-15 and US95 today. She was so scared but our Trooper was able to calm her down, she had a collar on so hopefully she will be reunited with her humans soon.

Okay folks, that is a freakin mountain lion. He’s been making the rounds recently on the top of SR157 on Mt Charleston. While sightings are rare they are up there, watch your pets if you go up to visit, keep them on a leash and police your trash, especially food.

So apparently this persons time is more valuable then everyone else’s because he was pulled over for using the shoulder as a travel lane. Looking at the plate we can’t say we are surprised. Troopers are on the road down in Primm to prevent as much of this as we can.

This morning Trooper Faul saw this little guy on the shoulder on I-15 and D Street. She was able to coral the kitten. The cat will be going to the animal shelter to check for a chip. If no chip the kitten will be available for adoption.

Today one of our Troopers found this little cutie running around on Rainbow Blvd. Our Trooper was able to catch the scared pup and it keep it from being struck by any vehicles. A few hours later we received word Bambi was reunited with her humans. All in a days work. #🐾

We just wanted to thank all of our brothers and sisters in the first responder community and the citizens of Nevada for the amazing show of support over the past 48 hours. The love and support you have shown our Troopers,Sgt Jenkins and his family has been overwhelming.

We honor and remember brave Highway Patrol officers Sergeant Michael Abbate and Trooper Alberto Felix, lost in the line of duty on November 30. Both dedicated their careers to serving our community with commitment and pride.

One of our Troopers came out to his patrol car to start his shift and found this letter on his vehicle. The simplest act of kindness goes a long way. We appreciate all the love and support the public continues to show us during these unprecedented times.

Tow truck companies from Southern Nevada, the Nevada State Police and allied agencies held a memorial procession in Las Vegas in honor and memory of Sgt. Abbate and Trooper Felix.
Our heartfelt thank you to our tow truck partners, partnering agencies & to our community.
If the public would like to come out to our station located at 4615 W. Sunset Rd. LV,NV 89118, Trooper Micah May’s patrol vehicle is out front for signing and or photos. We want to thank everyone for their support during this difficult time.

🦆 These ducks sure are enjoying the tranquility of a empty LV Strip. One of our Troopers had to help these ducks move along to make sure they weren’t injured. A statement we never thought we would ever say, “watch out for wildlife on the LV Strip”

He is survived by a wife and two children. This marks the 12th member of NHP to die in the line of duty. We pause and reflect on each of the men and women we've lost and their bravery.
Rest easy,

Today on the US95/Ann this vehicle rolled over multiple times and came to rest on its side. Inside was a mom and dad, a 4 year old and a 18 month old, both children were restrained in properly installed car seats and mom and dad were wearing seatbelts. Not one injury reported.
Today Trooper Irvin Raab gave his final off duty call in Las Vegas. Trooper Raab heads into retirement after serving the citizens of the Great State of Nevada for 24 years. His work ethic, tenacity and love of the job will be greatly missed. Congratulations Trooper!!!

During these crazy times it’s hard for a kid to have a great birthday party. When we found out Nixon was not only having a safe birthday party but a drive-by party, we knew we had to do a drive-by, NHP style. We had some backup by

It’s with heavy hearts we regret to share the passing of K9 Jill, a 5yr old Springer Spaniel, served both Northern & Southern Commands as a narcotics detection K9. Her presence was a joy to anyone who met her, especially the elementary school students she loved to visit.
This morning around 5am graveyard Sgt Jason Buratczuk successfully deployed Stop Sticks to stop a wrong driver on the I-15 in Las Vegas. The successful deployment quickly brought a potentially deadly situation to a quick end. No injuries were reported.

Meet Skipper, the newest member of the NHP K9 team. Today he graduated his training program. Skipper is a 1 year old German Short Haired Pointer trained in narcotics detection. Skipper is named after fallen NHP Sgt Ben Jenkins who’s nickname was Skipper. Welcome Aboard Skipper!
Well there it is folks, the dumbest thing we’ve seen all day, 109mph in the rain near I-15N/St Rose. This driver will get to come back and visit Las Vegas for their mandatory court date. Slow down in the rain, arrive alive.

113mph on the I215 with traffic around and making multiple lane changes is a deadly cocktail. Slow down and arrive alive. This driver received a reckless driving citation, $1,200 fine, mandatory court appearance and 6 points on his license.

Today NHP Sgt Charlie Lee heads out on patrol for his last shift. After today’s shift Sgt Lee will be retiring after 29 years of service to the Great State of Nevada. We wish Sgt Lee the best of luck as begins his retirement.

Today for 3 hours the DUI Strike Team with Metro and NHP motors conducted a saturation patrol on 15NB/St Rose. 85 stops, 84 cites plus 3 DUI arrests, Felony Drug Poss, Felony Warrant, Fraud, Poss of Burglary Tools. Just some of the things we saw today while making NV roads safe.
There’s no way to sugar coat it, if your driving to California be ready for the traffic. Traffic is already backed up 16 miles from Primm. We have Troopers already writing those folks who think it’s okay to drive in the shoulder. That’s a $200 fine, points, increased insurance.
We bid farewell to Lt. Erik Lloyd. A man who worked hard as a police officer but also as the president of the NV IPOF. We will never forget his efforts when we needed him in our darkest hours when we lost Sgt Ben Jenkins. Erik was hero who helped heroes and their families. ⚫️🔵⚫️
Speeds like this are completely unacceptable. That’s complete disregard for your own safety and everyone else’s who shares the road with you. This will be an expensive lesson for this driver.

In case you thought we were joking. This was just a few minutes ago on Las Vegas Blvd near the M Resort. A wrong way driver. Please be extremely careful tonight if you have to travel, and do so responsibly.
