馃敩聽National Forensic Science Week聽馃敩
Today, we had the honor of celebrating the men and women who work behind the scenes to help solve cases and bring answers to our community.
Mayor Shelley Berkley presented a proclamation declaring September 23, 2026 as Forensic Laboratory and Crime Scene Investigators Day. Honoring the hard work and dedication of the men and women of the LVMPD Forensic Laboratory and Crime Scene Investigations Section.
These professionals are often the unsung heroes of an investigation. Working behind the scenes, they carefully process evidence, conduct detailed forensic examinations, document crime scenes, and provide investigators with the information they need to connect the dots and move cases toward resolution.
Their work requires precision, expertise, patience, and an unwavering commitment to the truth.
They may not always be the faces you see, but their work can be the key to telling the story that evidence leaves behind.

TRAFFIC INITIATIVE!
Today, LVMPD officers were out conducting traffic enforcement near I-215 and Town Center Drive as part of the Southern Nevada Traffic Task Force. During the enforcement operation, officers encountered drivers who were speeding, distracted, and simply not driving safely.
These are the behaviors that can turn a routine drive into a serious or even deadly crash. When you are behind the wheel:
馃殫 Slow down
馃摰 Put the phone away
馃憖 Pay attention
馃敀 Buckle up
鉂わ笍 Make it home safe
You鈥檒l continue to see our officers out across the valley working to make Southern Nevada roads safer. Pay attention, because once those red and blue lights get behind you, it鈥檚 too late!

End of Watch: Corrections Officer Victor Hunter
September 16, 2011
Today, we remember Corrections Officer Victor Hunter, who joined LVMPD in 2007, at the age of 46, leaving behind a successful career to pursue his true calling. He entered the academy alongside his son, Christopher, making history as the first father-son duo to graduate together.
Hunter鈥檚 dedication to his faith, family, and service was unmatched. Known for his warm spirit, love of singing, and time spent outdoors, he brought joy and kindness wherever he went.
Hunter's four-year career with the LVMPD ended far too soon when he passed away after a medical episode at the Clark County Detention Center. He is survived by his beloved wife, Noreta, his three children, and a large extended family who loved him deeply.
His legacy of faith, love, and service lives on.
