Top local headlines
1) Regional traffic enforcement: nearly 4,000 citations since December
A valleywide traffic enforcement effort that includes North Las Vegas police says it has made thousands of stops since launching in December 2025. The latest update reports 3,992 citations and 3,719 traffic stops so far, with speeding making up the biggest share (2,518 citations). Officials also reported dozens of tows and arrests during the same period.
The takeaway for North Las Vegas drivers: expect continued high-visibility enforcement focused on speeding and other risky driving behaviors, especially as agencies schedule more joint operations.
2) Black History Month Community Celebration held at Aliante Nature Discovery Park
The city capped off its Black History Month programming with a community celebration at Aliante Nature Discovery Park on Saturday, Feb. 21. The outdoor event featured live performances, cultural presentations, food vendors, and community partners, with activities aimed at being family-friendly and easy to drop into.
If you missed it, the city’s broader February lineup is also a reminder that many local parks and public spaces double as cultural gathering spots, not just recreation hubs.

Two community-focused offerings stood out this week at the Dolores Huerta Resource Center: a Spanish literacy workshop hosted by the Mexican Consulate on Feb. 21, and an evening English-as-a-Second-Language class scheduled for today (Feb. 24, 5–8 p.m.).
These programs are part of a larger push to make practical, low-barrier education and services available close to home for North Las Vegas residents.
