It’s time for another round of the 20 Question Challenge and this week, we’ve got the one and only Sgt. Miller in the hot seat!

Can he answer rapid-fire questions and resist turning every answer into something about the Pittsburgh Steelers? 👀😂 (We’re not making any promises.)

From favorite song, why he decided to be an officer… to why he thinks the Steelers are winning the Super Bowl every single year… this one is guaranteed to be entertaining.

Tap in, get to know Sgt. Miller, and see why his squad says he’s equal parts leader, comedian, and die-hard Steelers fan🖤💛

is out tonight conducting DUI enforcement because one bad decision behind the wheel can change lives forever.

Drinking and driving doesn’t just risk your life. It endangers everyone sharing the roadway: families heading home, kids in back seats, pedestrians in crosswalks, and other drivers just trying to make it home safely.

Every impaired crash we respond to has the same theme, it was preventable.

No ride, no excuse, no “I’m fine” is worth the lives at stake.

If you plan to drink:
✔️ Designate a sober driver
✔️ Use rideshare
✔️ Call a friend
✔️ Stay put

Your life, and someone else’s, depends on it.
We’re out here. Please make the right choice.

officers worked hard this month to keep our most vulnerable road users safe…pedestrians.

Here’s what our enforcement produced:
259 Contacts�225 Citations�2 Arrests�
Violations included speeding, intersection violations, distracted driving, unsafe passing, failure to yield, and other pedestrian-related offenses.

We also teamed up with CCSDPD, Henderson PD, and LVMPD for a SAFE Traffic Detail focused on school zones during drop-off and pick-up, the most dangerous times for children on foot.

That operation resulted in:�238 Stops�215 Citations�3 Vehicle Tows
�This is a scene from a recent pedestrian crash. Sandals left in the roadway, a shattered windshield, and evidence markers stretching across the street show exactly why this enforcement matters.

One moment of distraction or impatience behind the wheel can change a life forever.

Drivers, slow down, look twice, and stay alert.�
Pedestrians, use crosswalks, stay visible, and never assume a driver sees you.

We all share the road. Let’s keep each other safe.�

While you were sleeping…💤😴�
Officers Delgado and Ornelas were out here doing what they do best, handling the kind of “night shift surprises” you definitely don’t want showing up on your doorstep.

What started as a simple stop quickly turned into a meth-and-paraphernalia discovery, and one individual ended up taking a ride in the back of an NLVPD patrol car.

And here’s the real talk:�Meth is extremely dangerous, even tiny amounts can cause severe health issues, violent or unpredictable behavior, and serious long-term damage.

It also drives crime and puts families and neighborhoods at risk. Because of their quick work, these harmful substances didn’t make it any farther into our community.

Great job, Officers Delgado and Ornelas. 💙�

From November 10 through December 1, 2025, our Traffic Division will participate in Nevada’s Joining Forces initiative focusing on seat belt and child restraint violations to help save lives.

Officers will be watching closely for drivers and passengers who aren’t properly buckled up. 👀

Here’s why it matters:
Every 50 minutes, an unrestrained passenger dies in a crash.

In 2023, over 10,000 lives were lost across the U.S. due to not wearing seat belts.
Nearly half of all traffic fatalities involved unbelted occupants.

Most crashes happen close to home and often at night.

Buckle Up Every Trip, Every Time.Make sure:
✔️ The shoulder belt crosses your chest, not your neck or arm.
✔️ The lap belt fits low across your hips.
✔️ Kids are always secured in age-appropriate car seats or boosters.

Seat belts are your best defense against impaired, distracted, or aggressive drivers. Airbags work with seat belts not instead of them.

Together, we can make Nevada’s roads safer.

While out doing proactive patrol, Officer Miranda and Officer Avila spotted smoke rising from a dirt lot and quickly realized someone was starting a fire.

They immediately detained the suspect and, during their investigation, discovered a magazine loaded with ammunition. After an extensive search, they located the firearm hidden in his belongings.

Thanks to their awareness, quick response, and persistence, a dangerous situation was stopped before it could escalate. 👏

Excellent work, Officers Miranda and Avila
protecting lives and property through proactive policing.

Join us in congratulating Sgt. Sullivan as he transitions to his new role as the Problem Solving Unit (PSU) Sergeant!

From patrol leadership to now tackling complex issues, there’s no problem too big for Sgt. Sullivan to solve.

We’ll miss his humor and steady leadership on patrol but we know he’s bringing that same energy (and coffee-fueled determination ☕) to PSU!

Congratulations and best of luck, Sergeant! North Las Vegas is in good hands.

To all veterans, and especially to those who continue their service through law enforcement, thank you.
