Top Ten Offenders Fail To Contact The Court

The Las Vegas Township Justice Court’s Pay the Ticket, Avoid the Click-it Campaign has improved the number of people paying past due traffic tickets by 15 percent since the campaign began November 17, 2008.

The campaign encourages individuals with past due traffic citations to come in and clear them up before the court starts issuing warrants in February 2009.

“The results have been phenomenal and we’re just getting started,” said Chief Judge Doug E. Smith. “We’re looking forward to helping more individuals clear up their tickets and avoid a warrant in the coming months.”

Individuals with outstanding tickets can call (702) 671-3444 or go to www.clarkcountycourts.us/paythefine. ¿Habla Espanol? www.clarkcountycourts.us/pagarlamulta

This week, more than 190,000 postcards will be sent to individuals with outstanding tickets in the court.

“These outstanding fines represent obligations owed to the taxpayers of Clark County and so we are doing everything we can to alert individuals to their outstanding obligations and giving them a chance to take care of them before arrest,” said Edward A. Friedland, Court Executive Officer.

More than 190,000 individuals owe obligations to the Las Vegas Justice Court, including a list of the 10 Most Wanted Individuals with the largest number of outstanding fines with the court.

“So far none of the individuals on the 10 Most Wanted List has come in to take advantage of this program,” said Smith. “We want to help these individuals avoid further fines and possible arrest. They just need to call or come into the court, otherwise, we’ll issue arrest warrants in February.”
