Mar/Apr 2026 - Meeting the Needs of Our Members

Over the years, the LVPPA has grown to meet the needs of the membership. With over 3,600 members and a membership rate of approximately 99%, the PPA is one of the largest police associations in the United States.

We are proud of the service we provide for our members. The LVPPA is unique in that, within 45 minutes of when a trigger is pulled on an OIS, we are on scene to represent our members. That response includes an attorney who works for the member officer(s) involved in the critical incident, a response vehicle that is large enough to accommodate the officers involved — providing a climate-controlled private environment — and E-Board members who have received specialized training to assist the involved officers through every step of the investigation process.

Additionally, we take pride in being available to our members 24/7. We are literally a phone call away, day or night. Our facility has a mat room available for squad training and private sessions, offered twice a week, for our member officers who wish to learn and/or practice physical combatives. Over the last year, we have provided squad-level training on what officers can expect in the immediate hours following a trigger pull in an OIS.

In addition to refining the professional services we provide, we have taken the initiative to expand our benevolent efforts. Please take a few minutes to check out the benevolent side of the PPA:

• $100 Target Gift Card for newborn babies
• Flower arrangement for immediate family funerals
• Free notary service during business hours
• Homesteading
• Request for confidentiality through the Accessor's Office
• LEAF scholarships for the children of LEAF donors
• General counsel – available to triage legal issues or potential issues
• Membership events: Easter, movie screenings, Aviator baseball, UNLV football, haunted house/trunk or treat, Opportunity Village Christmas
• Public events: Charity Police v Fire Tackle Football Game, Charity Police v Fire Baseball Game. Both events are open to the public and free to attend. The funds generated from those games benefit our LEAF charity.
• Sports/activities donations: Monetary donations to members for their participation or their immediate family members' participation in a sport or activity.

As always, it is a privilege to serve our peer officers. If you have any questions, reach out. Stay safe!
