DA Legal Analysis
REPORT ON USE OF FORCE Legal Analysis Surrounding the Death of Jesus Caballero- Herrera on April 29, 2020 INTRODUCTION On April 29, 2020, at approximately 8:54 p.m., Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (hereinafter “LVMPD”) Sergeant Timothy Stovall shot and killed 38-year-old Jesus Caballero- Herrera (hereinafter “Decedent”) during a vehicle stop at North Las Vegas Boulevard, Mile Marker 59. This report explains why criminal charges will not be forthcoming against Sergeant Stovall. It is not intended to recount every detail, answer every question, or resolve every factual conflict regarding this police encounter. It is meant to be considered in conjunction with the Police Fatality Public Fact-Finding Review which was held on March 30, 2021. This report is intended solely for the purpose of explaining why, based upon the facts known at this time, the conduct of Sergeant Stovall was not criminal. This decision, premised upon criminal-law standards, is not meant to limit any administrative action by LVMPD or to suggest the existence or non-existence of civil actions by any person, where less stringent laws and burdens of proof apply. SUMMARY OF RELEVANT FACTS On April 29, 2020, at approximately 8:42 p.m., LVMPD Sergeant Stovall, who was operating in an undercover, plain clothes capacity and driving an unmarked, blue Dodge Grand Caravan, alerted LVMPD dispatch via radio of an “extreme 410” (reckless driver) travelling north on I-15. Sergeant Stovall advised that the vehicle, a brown Yukon, was travelling in excess of 100 miles per hour and had almost collided with other vehicles as well as the median.

Mr. Wayne R. Teglia, Director Department of Motor Vehicles & Public Safety 555 Wright Way Carson City, Nevada 89711-0525 Dear Mr. Teglia
If you have issues viewing or accessing this file contact us at NCJRS.gov. STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES AND PUBLIC SAFETY NEVADA HIGHWAY PATROL 555 Wright Way Carson City, Nevada 89711 RICHARD H. BRYAN WAYNE H. TEGLIA Governor (702) 885-5300 Director Mr. Wayne R. Teglia, Director Department of Motor Vehicles & Public Safety 555 Wright Way Carson City, Nevada 89711-0525 Dear Mr. Teglia: I submit with satisfaction the Nevada Highway Patrol's Annual Report for fiscal year 1985/1986 to you, to Governor Richard Bryan, and to the people of the State of Nevada. I say "satisfaction" because large scale increases in the responsibilities of the Division occurred and significant progress toward meeting them was made during the fiscal year. "Growth necessitates change" is a maxim which applied to the Division this past year. The 1985 Legislature mandated the integration of the enforcement operations of the Motor Carrier Division with our own and assigned responsibility for establishing the Criminal History Repository to us as well. These requirements, as well as evolutionary changes experienced in the years since 1979, created a need for a complete structural reorganization of the Nevada Highway Patrol. Accordingly, a reorganization plan was developed and implemented. The Division now consists of four major command units, each with a different but equally important role to fulfill in reaching Division goals. The pages that follow summarize the strides taken toward realization of those ends. Approximately two hundred applicants were screened for possible employmant with the Division, with ten candidates eventually selected for training. This group became Academy XXI, the first to graduate from the new Division training facility in Carson City.

Washoe County NV
DATA-DRIVEN APPROACHES TO CRIME AND TRAFFIC SAFETY (DDACTS) CASE STUDY OF THE WASHOE COUNTY, NEVADA, SHERIFF’S OFFICE DDACTS PROGRAM 12 FEBRUARY 2010 PREPARED FOR THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION ENFORCEMENT AND JUSTICE SERVICES DIVISION BY ANACAPA SCIENCES, INC. SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA WASHOE COUNTY, NEVADA DISTINGUISHING FEATURES Experienced law enforcement managers are accustomed to periodic budget crises, but the national economic recession that began in 2006 is the most severe in many years and has affected some agencies more than others. The following pages describe how an agency that is particularly vulnerable to economic problems used a data-driven approach to crime and traffic safety as a force-multiplier to improve the quality of life for residents within its jurisdiction. SETTING Washoe County, Nevada, is nestled on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, extending 6,600 square miles from the rim of Lake Tahoe at Incline Village north to the juncture of the Nevada, California, and Oregon borders. Its mountainous terrain is a haven for skiing, fishing, hiking, and lake activities. The area includes part of Toiyabe National Forest and two wildlife refuges: Anaho Island in Pyramid Lake, which was set aside by Woodrow Wilson in 1913 and now shelters one of the two largest pelican colonies in the Western United States; and the volcanic plains of Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge, which hosts a large population of American mustangs like those featured on Nevada’s state quarter. “Washoe” is taken from the name of the Native American people who originally inhabited the area and means “the people from here.” John C.

Wyoming Highway Patrol to Participate in New Year's Eve
News Release Date: December 28th, 2020 Title: Wyoming Highway Patrol to Participate in New Year’s Eve Safety Initiative City: Statewide Narrative: The Western States Traffic Safety Coalition (WSTSC) will initiate a special effort this New Year’s Eve to ensure the dangerous driver behaviors of impaired drivers have no place to hide from the vigilance of their officers/ troopers. The “Coalition” is made up of 11 states that include the Arizona Department of Public Safety, California Highway Patrol, Colorado State Patrol, Idaho State Police, Montana Highway Patrol, Nevada Highway Patrol, Oregon State Police, South Dakota Highway Patrol, Utah Highway Patrol, Washington State Patrol, and the Wyoming Highway Patrol. These law enforcement agencies that make up the WSTSC are committed and unified to keeping the people of their communities’ safe during this holiday. Even during this COVID 19 national health emergency some may feel New Year’s Eve is the ultimate party night and engage in risky driving behavior, but police will be alert throughout the Western region for impaired drivers. Impaired driving has a devastating impact on the quality of life for those in all communities. Assertive traffic law enforcement activity with a targeted public safety focus is the purpose of this partnership. Nationally, over the past five years, an average of 300 people have died in impaired driving crashes the week between Christmas and New Year. Last year, there were 10,142 people killed nationwide in impaired driving crashes accounting for nearly one-third of the yearly driving fatalities. These deaths are 100% preventable. The tragedy of these deaths is felt year-round, but for many, most strongly during the holidays.
