New School Police Chief Takes Charge | Las Vegas News

Jeff Clark, the newly sworn-in police chief of the Clark County School District and a former Metro officer who graduated from Cimarron-Memorial High, is hitting the ground running with a bold message: safety is non-negotiable. With rising concerns over campus guns, car accidents, and e-scooter crashes, Clark is cracking down on speeding in school zones and pushing for pedestrian awareness. His proactive stance comes as school start times shift to 8:30 AM and new state laws give districts more control over school zone lighting. A recent report found 427 crashes near schools, with 143 involving e-scooters — many victims were teens. Clark’s message? Slow down, put phones away, and only cross when it’s safe — because accidents happen when attention lapses, whether behind the wheel or on foot.
