City of North Las Vegas employees are helping children in emergency situations through the local McGruff Truck program.  Similar to McGruff House in concept, the McGruff Truck program originated in 1988 as a component of the National McGruff House Network.

              McGruff Trucks are easy to identify because of the recognizable decals posted on the front and rear of certified vehicles.  Simply put, drivers are trained to respond to a child in need, assess the problem, and contact the proper authorities for emergency help.  The driver then waits with the child until that help arrives.  Just one more way we protect kids in our community!

              The Community Services Division is training students in North Las Vegas on an annual basis on the McGruff Truck Program through assemblies at local elementary schools.

To schedule an assembly for your school, contact a Crime Prevention Specialist by calling (702) 633-1808.
