As the LVPPA has said, the men and women of law enforcement will not forget what this judge has done.

If you are out and about and see a billboard with this on it, please snap a picture and post it. Don't forget to tag the LVPPA.

Last Sunday in the early morning hours at McCarran International Airport, an unruly/unstable person caused a major disturbance.

Passengers mistook banging for gunshots and tens of thousands of people panicked and fled. They ran thru secure checkpoints and everywhere else they could.

LVMPD’s Airport Bureau Graveyard squad was on the scene within seconds to address the alleged active shooter. Once they determined the shooting to be unfounded they quickly transitioned to re-establishing calm and order.

The flight delays took a day to resolve. Our officers response to a potential active shooter was swift and deliberate. Job well done.

The second annual Erik Lloyd Memorial Golf Tournament hosted by the Las Vegas Sheriff’s Protective Association was held this past Saturday.

Erik was a police lieutenant and a 30-year veteran of Las Vegas Metro who died as a result of COVID-19.

The LVPPA was a proud sponsor of this event. These four officers and association members represented the LVPPA in the tourney.

Congrats to our members who won the raffle. Stay tuned for more membership opportunities.

Godspeed, Erik.

Today we honor Police Officer Clark Anthony Wooldridge, who died on this day in 1979.

Officer Wooldridge joined the LVMPD in August 1978. While responding to a fight and accident call on August 14, 1979, he was involved in a collision. He was pinned underneath the overturned vehicle and subsequently died at the hospital. The fight and accident call that led to this officer’s untimely death turned out to be a false alarm.

Officer Wooldridge was only 22 years old when he died and was survived by his wife of less than two years.

Yesterday evening, a violent criminal terrorized our community. He shot at police officers and civilians alike. He led police on a chase throughout the valley. It was ended when a K-9 officer sacrificed his safety to stop the suspects actions.

Our K-9 officer is recovering at the hospital. The LVPPA is on scene with our officers who were involved in the shooting and will support them through the process.

Thank you to those brave men and women who hang it on the line every day to protect the people of this community.

39 Years in the Making

In early February, Dan Coyne and I were having lengthy discussions about how to raise money for our LEAF charity. We wanted to come up with some new ideas on how to increase the revenue for the charity so that we could continue to offer the support to the families of our brothers and sisters who have lost their lives in the line of duty, as well as expand on our scholarships provided to our members’ children.
