How is Nevada modernizing corrections staffing and police operations after years of overtime and technology pressure?

Nevada's public-safety agencies are recalibrating after a stretch of soaring overtime at the Department of Corrections and a rapid buildout of policing technology in Southern Nevada. NDOC has expanded academy classes to bring officer counts back up, while LVMPD has stood up a drone-as-first-responder program flying about 10,000 missions in 2026 to date. Neither push runs through a single dominant bill — they are executive and agency actions being briefed to state boards and legislative committees.
