Henderson Police operation nets 3 DUI arrests, nearly 400 tickets

Henderson Police issued nearly 400 citations and made three DUI arrests during an operation this month targeting impaired drivers.

From July 2 through 13, police stopped 346 vehicles and issued 393 citations, including 182 for speeding, 11 for running red lights and 28 for failure to yield, officials said.

The initiative was part of the Joining Forces program. Henderson Police received $107,500 in federal grant money this year for the program.

The grant, obtained through the Nevada Department of Public Safety — Office of Traffic Safety, also provides money for educational outreach to reduce traffic deaths and injuries.

Of the 74 alcohol-related crash deaths in Nevada last year, 45 were in Clark County, according to Henderson Police.
