Yesterday night, the LVPPA held a membership event at the Las Vegas Ballpark to watch our Las Vegas Aviators play ball.
The weather was beautiful, and it was a blast watching our members and their families enjoy a night at the game in a section of the ballpark reserved for association members.
Congrats to the raffle winners. Thank you to our membership. Check your email for the upcoming UNLV Football event, the haunted house event and our Christmas event at Opportunity Village.

On Monday, September 12, 2022, Police Officer Lloyd Todd of the Detroit Police Department died in the line of duty.
On December 5, 1998, Officer Todd and two other plainclothes officers were attempting to stop a van wanted in connection with an abduction earlier in the day. Once the van started to flee, a pursuit ensued, and Officer Shawn Bandy and another officer joined in the chase. When the van slowed down, a suspect in the back opened fire on the cruisers, striking all three officers.
Officer Todd, who was driving, was shot in the head. Shrapnel and glass from the windshield hit another officer.
Officer Bandy, the passenger of the first marked cruiser, was struck in the head, neck and chest by multiple rounds. Bullet fragments and glass hit Officer Bandy's partner. All officers were transported to St. John Hospital, where Officer Bandy succumbed to his injuries the following day.
Officer Todd remained in a coma for over two months and spent a year in a rehabilitative facility. He was paralyzed on the left side of his body, lost his right eye and suffered partial brain damage. He required 24-hour care until succumbing to his injuries 23 years later.
Officer Todd was a United States Coast Guard veteran and had served with the Detroit Police Department for five years. He is survived by his son, sisters and brothers.
Godspeed, brother

Mike Simonelli is a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy. He served our nation as an officer in the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army National Guard. He has been a cop for over 20 years and has sat on the executive board of the Suffolk PBA.
Mike is also the author of “Justified Deadly Force and the Myth of Systemic Racism.”
When Mike heard about our issues with Clark County District Court Judge Ballou, he sent a free autographed copy of his book, especially for her.
Thank you, Mike. As you can see, we received the book and will make sure it gets to her. Hopefully, she reads it. And you are correct, facts do matter.

A couple weeks ago we told you about our traffic officer who was critically injured when a drunk driver collided with his police motorcycle.
Yesterday, our officer was released from the hospital and transferred to a rehabilitation facility to continue his road to recovery.
Family, friends and fellow officers were on hand to show support and wish him well on his road to recovery.
Over the course of the last few weeks, the medical staff of UMC Trauma has provided world-class medical treatment to our officers. Words cannot express how appreciative we are.
Thank you to the crews of Ewing Brothers Towing who showed up as well.
Every day, the men and women of Las Vegas Metro hit the streets to protect you and your family. Support them. And last but not least, don’t drink and drive.

On Saturday, September 17, one week removed from when one of our cops was fighting for her life in a gunfight, we were on the scene of another officer-involved shooting (OIS).
Our officers were unharmed and the suspect was taken into custody. Detectives are currently investigating the incident and further details will be released at a later time.
The LVPPA was on scene with our cops, and will be with them throughout this process.
Thank you, Las Vegas, for always supporting our law enforcement officers.

So a few months ago, just prior to the Police/Fire Charity Tackle Football Game, there was a little side bet made. If FD won, we would have to wash their engine; if we won, they would have to make us breakfast.
On Thursday, September 15, we got to sit down with our brothers at North Las Vegas Fire Station 52, along with the PFFN and the Children's Heart Foundation, to break bread and visit.
We also presented the PFFN with a check for $23,000 for their charity. Great fellowship and a great breakfast. Our FD brethren were kind enough to get us doughnuts as well, with a personal touch (see pic)!
Thanks again, gents. The crew at NLVFD Station 52 is a class act. And thank God we didn’t have to wash that rig. See you at next year's game!
