Today we remember Correctional Officer Daniel Leach, who died on this day in 2009.
Officer Leach joined the LVMPD on June 18, 1984, following the completion of his formal education in Louisiana. Dan was a career corrections officer, and at the time of his death was assigned to the Tucker Holding Facility in Laughlin, Nevada.
On the morning of November 21, 2009, he began his shift by picking up a prisoner transport van from the Clerk County Detention Center and driving to Laughlin. While traveling southbound on U.S. 95, Officer Leach was involved in a two-vehicle accident and died instantly.
Officer Leach was 49 years when he died, and had served on the Department for 25 years. He was survived by his wife, two children, his parents, one brother and one sister.

Today we remember Officer Trevor A. Nettleton, who died on this day in 2009.
Officer Nettleton joined the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department on November 5, 2006, following nine years of service in the United States 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.
