Las Vegas Police Invite Public to Women’s Boot Camp

September 18, 2017 by 911media

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is holding its second all-female boot camp in an effort to attract more females to the force.

Over the past few years, LVMPD has been working hard to get more women involved in leadership roles in the department.

The agency is looking for even more women to join LVMPD in order to fairly represent the community it serves.

“Sometimes the verbal communication skills or different life experiences that women bring to the table can help put a situation at ease or help make a victim feel like they can open up,” said Capt. Sasha Larkin, commander of the Northwest Area Command.

Women in the community are invited to attend a “boot camp” this Saturday to get a taste of what it takes to protect and serve.

Attendees will practice agility drills, hear from speakers, and learn more about applying to LVMPD.

“If you’re working at a restaurant or if you’re a stay at home mom, it doesn’t matter! You can do this. You just have to set your mind to it,” Larkin said.

The boot camp will be held at LVMPD headquarters at 400 S. Martin Luther King Blvd. The event runs from 6 a.m.-3 p.m. Sept. 16. Registration is not required. Women should come dressed in athletic attire.

On April 26, 2025, Deputy Sheriff Brandon Sikes of the Columbia County (GA) Sheriff’s Office was killed in the line of duty.

Deputy Sheriff Sikes and his partners were serving a domestic violence protective on a subject. At some point, the savage engaged the deputies in a gunfight, mortally wounding Deputy Sheriff Sikes.

Brandon was 31 years old and had been a cop for nearly seven years. He also served our country in the U.S. Army. He is survived by his wife, daughter, parents, siblings and nephew.

Godspeed, brother.

Great news on this important legislation that amends the existing Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) to allow officers to carry in the same venues where civilian concealed carry permit holders are permitted.

In honor of National Peace Officers Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the fallen heroes of the LVMPD, North Las Vegas P.D. and Henderson P.D. who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our communities. We also remember and honor the federal, state, county, municipal, military, tribal and campus law enforcement officers across the country who gave their lives while upholding the thin blue line. We will never forget.
