A state grant will allow North Las Vegas police officers to use three new laser speed guns to catch speeders.

The Nevada Department of Public Safety, Office of Traffic Safety awarded the department $4,507 in grant funds to purchase three Truspeed “S” Compact Laser Speed Detection Units. These will be used during saturation patrols.

They are expected to be in the hands of three motor officers trained in their use within three months.
