Paws on Patrol | Clark County

The Clark County Sheriff’s Office is committed to making neighborhoods safer—and we invite you and your pet to join us!

Paws on Patrol is a crime-awareness volunteer program that empowers dog walkers to serve as extra eyes, ears, and paws in the community. While out on your regular walks, you’ll learn how to:

Stay safe and aware
Observe and report suspicious activity
Be an effective witness
Access neighborhood resources and crime prevention tips

You don’t need a pet to participate—anyone who regularly walks in their neighborhood or local parks can join.

It’s an easy, fun way to connect with your community and help make our neighborhoods safer—just by doing what you already do.
