Las Vegas Metro stops responding to non-injury crashes on March 3

Southern Nevadans involved in minor, non-injury car accidents shouldn’t expect a response from Las Vegas police starting Monday, part of the department’s shift to focus more on serious accidents and preventing fatalities. “Fatalities are more important than property-damage crashes,” said Capt. Mark Tavarez of the Metropolitan Police Department’s Traffic Bureau. “We need to focus more on preventing fatalities.”
