Challenge

The North Las Vegas Police Department needed to boost applications for both entry-level and lateral officers, with a special focus on out-of-state markets. Recruiting beyond Nevada had been an ongoing strategy, targeting regions like Utah, New York, Illinois, and California—states where candidates often relocate from to live and work in Las Vegas. The department sought to refine event-driven campaigns and direct outreach methods to maximize interest from qualified candidates willing to relocate.

Our Approach

AST deployed a multi-channel strategy combining digital ads, direct-call functionality, and event-driven campaigns to generate sustained candidate interest:

Targeted Social Media Ads

AST created campaigns across Meta and Google, promoting relocation incentives and upcoming testing events.

Custom Landing Page

A recruitment hub featuring clear role breakdowns, relocation messaging, and direct-call functionality, allowing prospects to connect instantly with recruiters.

Direct-to-Recruiter Calls

Lateral candidates were routed directly to a recruiter’s phone, creating a more personable process and encouraging faster follow-up.

Event-Driven Campaigns

Short-term ad pushes around key hiring events maximized turnout and generated urgency.

Out-of-State Recruitment

AST launched regional campaigns in Utah, Illinois, Idaho, and California, highlighting relocation opportunities and incentives. These campaigns successfully attracted both entry-level and lateral candidates to in-person testing events.

July Hiring Symposium

A two-week social campaign for the July 19 event generated 60+ prospect contacts and 17 confirmed attendees, proving digital ads can drive last-minute event turnout.

Salt Lake City Campaign

Ahead of the August 8–9 Salt Lake City event, AST launched targeted regional ads and email outreach to past registrants. This combination expanded visibility, encouraged test sign-ups, and strengthened out-of-state interest.

Carlsbad, CA Testing Event

One of the most successful out-of-state activations to date, the Carlsbad campaign drew 16 out-of-state candidates, with half advancing after the NTN test—including 8 veterans eligible for relocation bonuses. This campaign set the benchmark for future events.

Creative Assets

A fresh content shoot helped reposition North Las Vegas Police Department as a modern, professional agency—essential for building trust with potential recruits. New photo and video assets are now featured across their recruitment site and all major digital platforms.
