Equipment and Training
Equipment and training funds enable LVMPD officers to have the safety equipment and resources they need to help them safe lives, and stay ahead of the criminals. From updated equipment like bullet proof vests for the SWAT team, to specialized safety or leadership training for officers, the donations to the Friends of LVMPD Foundation have helped keep our officers safer on the job, and better educated on the newest accepted methods to address law enforcement challenges.
Crime Stoppers of Nevada
Sometimes it takes more than conventional techniques to solve a crime. Crime Stoppers is a community program that helps people to provide anonymous information about criminal activity. Crime Stoppers offers cash rewards to eligible tipsters who provide information that directly leads to a felony arrest, felony arrest warrant or felony indictment. Tips are funded by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Foundation.
Metro Volunteer Program
The Metro Volunteer Program or MVP’s include over 400 citizens dedicated to helping LVMPD by volunteering to hand out information at LVMPD offices, safety fairs, family events, school visits, annual National Night Out activities, First Tuesday informational meetings, and assist traffic control officers as needed. They volunteered thousands of hours to provide information to citizens, and enabled officers to focus on their jobs.
LEEAP
The Law Enforcement Empowerment and Athletic Program (LEEAP) is new initiative to provide area youth, ages 6 to 17, positive alternatives through athletics, education, and mentorship. LEEAP programs allow LVMPD officers to cultivate strong positive relationships with participants, most of whom reside in lower socio-economic areas of the valley. The goal is to foster inclusiveness and good citizenship through participation in one or more of the athletic and educational programs available for free.
Santa Cops
A community holiday tradition allowing hundreds of great children to select holiday presents for themselves and their families. Your generous donations bring smiles to the faces of dozens of children every holiday season and warm the hearts of their law enforcement shopping buddies.
LVMPD Area Commands
Efforts by LVMPD Area Commands unite neighbors with their community police through neighborhood cleanups, family resource events, outreach about drugs and gangs and youth crime, and monthly meetings to keep neighbors up to date on crime trends.
Strategic Support Initiative
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) Strategic Support Initiative is designed to enhance the police department’s counter-terrorism and criminal intelligence capabilities by increasing education, networking, and collaboration with national and international law enforcement partners.
