Today we remember LVMPD Police Officer Trevor A. Nettleton, who died on this day in 2009.

Officer Nettleton joined the Department on November 5, 2006, following nine years of service in the U.S. Marine Corps. During his distinguished military career, he was part of the Presidential Guard Detail, in service to President George W. Bush.

On November 19, 2009, Officer Nettleton was in the garage of his residence when he was approached by numerous subjects, one of them armed with a handgun. When the suspects attempted to rob Nettleton at gunpoint, he fought back. Nettleton wounded one of the suspects with gunfire before being fatally shot.

Nettleton was 30 years old when he died. He was survived by his wife, two young children, parents and one brother.

Semper fi, brother. We will never forget.

On October 24, country music star Coffey Anderson came to Las Vegas and donated his time to put on a First Responder Appreciation Night at Stoney's North Forty.

This was an event that our friend/brother Nino Galloway, the Professional Fire Fighters of Nevada Benevolent Association, the Firefighters of Southern Nevada Burn Foundation and Keith Armington took from a concept to reality.

The turnout was incredible, and Coffey’s show was outstanding. But the real winners from the event were our charities. The Fire Fighters of Southern Nevada Burn Foundation and our very own Law Enforcement Assistance Fund (LEAF).

Nino and Keith recently stopped by the office to present a check to LEAF.

Thank you to all those who made this a reality. And if you can, always give back.

See you next year!
