Las Vegas Police Change Fender-Bender Policy

Beginning March 3, 2014 Las Vegas police changed the policy on fender-bender accidents to free up Metro’s police force.  Per Sheriff Gillespie, Metro’s force continues to be "stretched to its limits". By changing the fender-bender policy, it is estimated that 250 hours per week will be available for officers to perform essential duties.

 

There are now 30 fewer traffic officers than there were just 18 months ago. Metro reported that minor traffic incidents/accidents are consuming excessive amounts of time when severe crashes and fatalities deserve urgent attention.

 

With the change, police are no longer required to respond to minor property-only incidents. Drivers involved should still exchange information.  They should also file an accident report within 10 days of the incident.  Metro’s police force will now have more time to apply their efforts in reducing traffic fatalities.
