Nevada Transforms Traffic Data Landscape
May 19, 2025 by Jillian Donley
With more than 40 agencies under its direction, the Nevada Department of Public Safety – Office of Traffic Safety handles significant volumes of traffic records and data. To streamline the flow of information and foster collaboration among the agencies it supports, the office of traffic safety underwent a statewide implementation of Tyler’s Enforcement Mobile solution.
Historically, many of Nevada’s law enforcement agencies operated using different crash reporting and records management systems, creating roadblocks for data accessibility and collaboration.
Now, Nevada’s traffic data landscape has been transformed, with a statewide deployment of Enforcement Mobile.
Agencies and stakeholders are now able to:
- Access crash and citation data from anywhere in near real-time
- Consolidate crash reports and citations into a centralized database
- Share information seamlessly with local courts and jurisdictions
- Identify trends for data-driven enforcement efforts
The implementation is managed by Traffic Records Program Manager Kevin Tice, who noted that these benefits weren’t realized overnight.
“It wasn’t a big change all at once,” Tice said. “It was an evolution that took place over more than a decade.”
Originally created to meet state crash reporting responsibilities, the program later developed into a larger effort to consolidate resources as more agencies came on board.
The office of traffic safety stepped up as a pioneer in advancing traffic safety solutions, empowering additional agencies to join the new system.
Now, nearly every law enforcement agency in the state handling crashes uses and is a part of the centralized system.
Unparalleled Data Transparency
In addition, Nevada’s agencies are leaving paper in the past and experiencing a level of data transparency they’ve never seen before.
With access to cloud-hosted data that can be queried in real time, officers are able to answer complex questions about crash trends, including roadway incident history and vehicle issues.
Enhanced data capabilities have also improved communication with government officials, enabling the state to share valuable information with lawmakers who write policies affecting its systems, making mandated changes easier for agencies to navigate.
Overall, the statewide deployment of Enforcement Mobile has been a game changer for the state, offering advanced insights and capabilities that give officers the resources and they need to focus their attention and improve service to their communities.
“The pursuit of uniform crash reporting and uniform citations, and a uniform system that houses that data for your state is definitely a worthy pursuit,” Tice said. “It’s great to be able to have all the agencies collaborate together from a single source of data.”
A Blueprint for Implementation Success
For states who may be interested in adopting a similar statewide implementation approach, he advises that collaboration among agencies, in addition to a strong traffic records coordinating committee, has been the best approach.
Now, with years of implementation experience under its belt, the office of traffic safety is continuing to make improvements to statewide data accessibility. Tice shared that the biggest project on the horizon will be focusing efforts on advancing data sharing capabilities through Tyler’s Data and Insights solution.
By implementing a statewide deployment of Enforcement Mobile, the Nevada Department of Public Safety – Office of Traffic Safety has aligned its approach to data collection and storage to better serve the officers and agencies it supports. This initiative enhances stakeholder accessibility to critical data and increases operational efficiency, positioning agencies to improve public safety through informed decision-making and streamlined communication.
“A big part of public safety is keeping people safe on the roadways and reducing death and injury in the way of crashes if and whenever possible,” Tice said. “What public safety means to the office of traffic safety is all of those things and being good partners and good liaisons with all of the law enforcement agencies in the state."
