Third annual Joining Forces campaign honors fallen Nevada Trooper Micah May
LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — The Nevada State Police Highway Patrol kicked off its third annual Joining Forces campaign in memory of Trooper Micah May.
This year’s theme is “MAY You Choose Not To Drive Impaired.” Participating agencies will join forces to get impaired drivers off Nevada roadways.
Trooper May was killed in the line of duty by an impaired driver on July 29, 2021.
News 3 had the chance to talk to his wife, Joanna, about what this campaign means to her.
“My husband actually taught me how to spot DUI drivers because before he and I got married, I would go on a ride-along with him, and his thing was getting impaired drivers off the roads like that was his thing. He had a best friend that he worked with, and they would have competitions back and forth about who would get the most DUIs that night. That’s why I really like that we are doing this DUI enforcement to honor him because that’s what he was about,” Joanna said.
Joanna also had the opportunity to participate in a ride-along on Saturday to honor her fallen husband.
