Happily,

There
are
installations
that
show
up

amazing
if
you
get
a
chance
to
head
out
that
way
during
the
festival.
D
It's
definitely
something
to
look
at
the
population
for
Washoe
County
as
I.
Looked
it
up
at
the
Times
499
508
persons,
that's
a

strategic

We
will
share
those
core
values
with
you
when
they
come
out
about
the
wash
County
Sheriff's
Office.
We
provide
the
law
enforcement
services

D
for
2022
our
authorized.
Commission
Staffing
levels
are
443.
I,
believe
our
numbers
for
2023
are
adding
an
additional
15,
making
it
458.
That's
not
an
official
number.
We
do
have
a
state
of
the
Sheriff's
Office
robust
report.
That's
coming
out,
I
believe
it's
sitting
on
the
sheriff's
desk
right
now,
with
a
lot
more
information
on
it,
but
as
of
2023
I
believe
the
number
is
going
to
be
458,
which
is
that's
exciting.
There's
always
that
old
adage
there's,
never
the
police
around
when
you
need
them
we're
working
to
increase
those
numbers.
D
Sharing
with
you,
some
of
our
agency,
demographics,
79
percent,
are
male.

are
female

wise
81

are

that's

dialing
directly
into

It
shows
the
Washoe
County
demographics,
50
and
a
half
percent
male
49.5
female
and
the
ethnicities
are
listed
below
that.
And
what
I'd
like
to
compare
these
two
is
oftentimes
people
ask
me
I'm
the
background
Sergeant,
so
I'm
at
the
ground
floor
of
initial
contact.
D
D
The
sheriff
is
in
about
every
Community
program.
That's
out
there
faith
based
breakfasts
police
symposiums.
We
bring
the
background
group
out
there
and
I
would
say
nearly
everybody
that
works
at
the
agency
participates
in
recruitment.
I.
Think
that's
one
of
the
biggest
things
is,
it's
easy
to
just
say:
Staffing
levels,
but
everybody
at
the
agency
works
on
recruitment
as
well
as
retention
and
I'm
happy
to
say
that
our
agency
reflects
the
community
that
we
work
in
the
first
Bureau
that
I'd
like
to
Highlights
our
administrative
Bureau.
D
That
year,
two
years
later,
we
integrated
Fleet
2,
which
is
axon
brand
cameras
into
all
our
marked
Patrol
vehicles.
A
couple
years
later,
integrated
the
body-worn
cameras
to
all
commissioned
detention
Personnel.
So
not
only
do
we
have
them
in
the
cars
we
have
them
in
the
patrol
people.
We
have
now
downstairs,
as
of
2021
for
this
year,
Quarter
Two
release
we're
hoping
to
release
axon's
latest
version,
which
is
Fleet
three.
D
In
a
nutshell,
it's
going
to
ease
the
video
based
evidence,
dissemination,
a
more
efficient
workflow
for
the
district
attorneys
and
the
PD's
office.
It
assembles
all
videos
all
interviews,
all
case
information
into
one
complete
case
when
we
drop
our
probable
cause
sheet
everybody's
already
asking
for
the
video.
This
helps
us
to
compile
all
that
information
and
put
our
best
foot
forward
for
decision
making.
At
that
time.

Currently
looking
at
67
days
to
process
a
concealed
carry
permit,
we
report
our
crimes
on
what
is
called
Neighbors
National
incident
based
Reporting
System,
all
the
most
of
the
agencies
in
the
area.
The
four

are
listed
there
work
to
update

This
work
included,

D
The
transition
from
summary
or
Universal
crime
reporting
to
niver's
reporting
was
August
1st
of
2019.
In
December
of
that
same
year,
we
met

A
couple
of
our

we
have
the
Christmas

July,
as

full
of
school
supplies
and
hygiene

fed.
Nearly
1400
people
gave
out
countless
prizes
for
the
carnival
games.
The
record-breaking
success
for
annual
event
was
a
direct
reflection
of
the
kindness
and
generosity
of
people
and
organizations
that
do
what
it
takes
to
realize
a
vision
and
make
a
positive
difference
in
our
community.

It's
real-time

We
look
at
repeat
calls
for
service.
We
look
at
significant
incidents.
We
look
at
crime
patterns,
problem
locations
and
problem
areas.
D
Just
touching
on
one
area,
a
popular
Trailhead
in
town
people
would
go
out
be
nice
spring
day.
They'd
want
to
go
on
a
hike,
their
cars
are
getting
broken
into.
We
looked
at
that
and
analyzed
that,
with
our
stratified
policing,
we
decided-
let's
put
the
police
there
in
a
certain
amount
of
time.
When
we
know
these
crimes
are
occurring.
That
did
have
an
effect
on
that.
The
next
slide
shows
the
top
up
bottom
down
a
thought
process
to
it:
accountability
wise.
We
get
incidents
every
once
in
a
while
when
it
becomes
a
significant
animal.
D
We
look
at
it
if
it
becomes
a
repeat
incident,
we
look
at
it.
It
starts
with
the
deputies
supervisors
and,
as
the
problems
are
assigned,
the
accountability
is
designed.
I
can
tell
you
as
a
sergeant
I
have
yet
to
get
it
up
to
a
commander
captain
or
executive
staff
level.
We
we
put
some
thought
process
into
it
and
try
and
knock
it
in
the
bud
before
it
raises
up
an
accountability.
D
Next
I'd
like
to
highlight
are
search
and
rescue
operations.
These
are
our
volunteer
hours
that
totaled
4
981
volunteer
hours
with
a
savings
of
333
000..
No
search
and
rescue
people
do
some
tremendous
things.
They
have
a
lot
of
skills,
a
lot
of
abilities
and
a
lot
of
equipment
that
get
us
out
of
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
stuff
along
the

goes
with
the
search
and
rescue
is
generally,
they
get
deployed

A
F
Thank
you
so
much
chair,
Cecilia,
Gonzalez,
District
16
for
the
record
good
morning.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentation,
chair.
If
you
don't
mind,
I
have
just
a
few
questions.
F
F
What
are
you
all
doing
to
diversify
your
Workforce
on
the
first
or
the
slide
where
you
broke
down
your
Race
by
the
department
I
saw
that
Latinos
are
only
11
of
the
population,
but
in
Washoe
County
they
actually
represent
closer
to
25
or
26
percent
of
the
overall
population
right,
so
I
was
just
curious
what
you're
doing
to
diversify
and
then
the
last
question
I
have
what
is
Washoe
County
done
over
the
last
two
years
to
implement
or
putting
social
workers
at
intake.
Thank
you.
So
much.
F
D
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Jason
Walker
timing
was
not
on
my
side.
We
have
just
compiled
a
robust
state
of
the
Sheriff's
Office
approximate
80
page
report
from
all
divisions.
All
those
numbers
I
have
heard
that
they're
sitting
on
the
sheriff's
desk
currently
not
signed
off.
Yet
there
will
be
a
press
release.
I
will
happily
share
that
information
in
copy
form
or
in
an
email
when
I
get.
That
is
I
believe
that
that
is
important
stats.
A
lot
of
the
meetings
that
I've
been
to
is
that
show
me
the
numbers.
D
D
I
couldn't
tell
you
having
been
the
sergeant
of
the
backgrounds
division
now
for
a
year.
The
majority
of
the
apps
we
get
are
somebody
that
knows
somebody
and
they
have
that
friend.
That's
out
there.
The
sheriff
is
in
the
police,
Symposium
he's
out
with
the
faith-based
breakfast
and
all
that
and
he's
pushing
it
to
get
that
diversity
out
there
and
I
think
you
know
by
showing
that
we
do
hire
our
community
I.
Think
that's
a
big
deal.
Social
workers
and
intake
was
the
last
question.
D
I
don't
have
an
answer
on
that.
I
will
Circle
back
with
you
on
that.
I
do
know
that
they
go
through
a
series
of
screening
questions
as
they
move
through
the
intake
process,
but
I
don't
have
a
specific
answer
for
you.
I
have
it
noted,
and
I
will
certainly
follow
up
with
you
on
that
and
I
think
oftentimes
that
that's
probably
the
most
important
to
get
the
information
out
of
them
right
from
the
very
beginning.
D
So
I
can
understand
that,
although
having
worked
in
intake
as
a
deputy
and
supervising
intake,
some
of
the
people
that
come
in
are
under
the
influence
of
something
they're
irritated
just
from
being
in
the
jail,
and
they
might
not
put
out
the
proper
response
that
we
need
to
get
them
down
that
lane
that
they
need
to
go
to,
but
I
I
will
follow
up
with
you
on
that.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
A
Think
it
I
will
say:
I
have
heard
some
phenomenal
things
about
the
intake
process
using
social
workers
as
well,
and
it
seems
like
it
really
is
like
the
gold
standard
of
how
we
should
be
in
taking
individuals
not
just
pushing
individuals
into
incarceration.
So
it
sounds.
We
would
definitely
love
more
information
if
we
can
get
it.
Assemblyman
inhibits.
G
G
D
Tell
you
was
certainty:
having
worked
in
the
backgrounds
division
again
for
a
year,
Sheriff
Balaam
told
me,
walk,
get
me
25
for
this
Academy.
Give
me
15
for
the
this
Academy
coming
up
would
be
July.
Next
Academy
coming
up
would
be
January.
He
says
after
that,
January
he's
probably
going
to
be
a
name
for
every
FTE.
That's
on
our
books.
D
What
the
one
thing
that
I
can't
factor
in
is
retirements
a
lot
of
times.
People
hold
that
close
to
them.
They
we
don't
know
when
people
are
going
to
go
generally,
it's
a
July
or
January
just
because
I'm
proudly
going
to
say
that
we're
close
to
being
staffed.
It
came
up
in
another
meeting
where
somebody
says:
how
do
you
do
it?
There's
no
direct
answer:
how
Washoe
County
does
what
we
does?
What
we
do.
H
Good
morning
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation,
thank
you,
Tara
I'm,
going
to
start
off
by
saying
good
for
you,
I
love
the
idea
that
washout,
County
and
I
wish
that
every
other
Department
could
do
the
same
or
County
could
do
the
same
thing
as
recruit
from
your
own.
You
know
this
to
me
is
a
big
thing.
I've
always
asked
you
know:
why
aren't
we
doing
more
that
community
instead
of
you,
know
hiring
people
from
Valdez
to
Georgia
I,
don't
have
anything
against
Valdosta,
but
you
know
hey.
You
know.
H
Police
are
on
that's
my
comment,
but
I
have
a
question.
I
do
you
have
mentioned
video
and
I
was
wondering
if
that's
free
to
the
public
or
do
you
charge
for
a
video
of
you
know.
You
know
two
attorneys
and
or
common
Folk.
I
You
chair
and
good
morning
good
morning:
it's
always
a
little
extra
special
when
the
Washington
people
come
so
for
obvious
reasons,
but
a
great
information
shared
from
the
from
the
sheriff's
office
I
mean
obviously
I've
been
there
and
seen
some
of
the
great
work
that's
been
done,
particularly
by
the
sheriff,
and
he
he
actually
told
me
about
the
I
talked
to
him
last
night
at
something,
and
he
told
me
the
report
was
coming,
make
sure
you
look
for
it.
I
Okay,
but
he's
he's
I
would
certainly
say
he
is
definitely
out
and
about
as
the
sheriff.
He
is
very
open
whenever
I've
reached
out
to
him
with
the
question
the
challenge
or
concern,
and
there
they
haven't
all
been
nice
and
fuzzy
conversations,
but
he's
always
very
very
good
about
that,
and
so
you
know
I
believe
in
and
I
believe
that
he
believed
in
the
work
of
the
community
and
then
I
think
that's
that
that
speaks
for
itself.
I
I
will
say
that
just
to
follow
up
a
little
bit
from
my
my
colleague's
comment,
assemblywoman
Gonzalez
I
will
just
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
diversity
piece
in
it
as
you,
because
I
know,
you're
going
to
be
getting
some
numbers
and
they
may
already
be
in
the
sheriff's
report,
and
so,
if
you
can
just
take
a
look
and
see
and
give
us
specifically
what
the
Command
Staff
looks
like,
there
has
been
some
growth
again
and
I
want
to
go
when
they
come
in
that,
but
Jesse.
I
What
does
the
Command
Staff
look
like
from
A
diversity
standpoint,
and
then
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
for
myself
and
actually
for
the
panel
for
the
committee
as
well?
What's
your
hiring
process
looks
like
what
would
it
look
like?
What
are
those
steps?
How
does
one
say?
Okay,
great
I'd,
love
to
be
a
part
of
Sheriff's
Office?
What
does
that?
What
does
that
look
like.
D
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Jason
Walker,
it
starts
with
an
HR,
less
opening
and
opening
for
either
lateral,
deputy
sheriff
or
deputy
sheriff
recruit.
Lateral
is
somebody
that
has
a
post
certification
from
either
Nevada
or
another
state.
So
it
just
starts
with
somebody
dialing
into
Washoe
County
to
see
the
sheriff's
office
has
they're
accepting
applications
are
opening
for
application
has
been
wide
open
for
many
years,
which
very
well
could
be.
Why
we're
getting
as
many
apps
as
we're
getting
so
it
starts
with
the
application
process.
Then
it
moves
into
Human.
D
Resources
accepts
the
application.
You
you
put
in
all
the
information,
your
your
biographical
information.
You
do
meet
the
minimum
standards
to
apply
for
this
position.
Then
they
throw
them
out
a
link
to
take
a
written
test.
You
pass
a
written
civil
service
test
once
you're
past
that
then
you
go
to
What's
called
their
post
physical
Readiness
test.
It's
a
series
of
runs,
push-ups
sit,
UPS,
a
Sprint
and
agility
course,
so
you
have
to
pass
that
pprt
as
well.
D
Once
the
application,
written
and
pprt
are
completed,
it
goes
from
HR
to
us
once
we
get
it
at
the
Sheriff's
Office.
What
we
do
is
we
get
a
certified
list
from
HR
again
with
these
three
processes
have
been
done.
Here's
my
list
of
30
potential
applicants
or
30
potential
deputy
sheriff
recruits
once
the
backgrounds
division
gets
them,
we
send
them.
D
The
the
name
of
the
computer
program
is
called
esoph
electronic
statement
of
personal
history,
but
we
send
them
what
we
call
a
PIQ
pre-investigative
questionnaires,
15
questions.
What
that
PIQ
helps
us
to
do
is
triage
applications
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is
one
background.
Investigation
could
range
from
40
to
maybe
90
hours
to
complete,
to
put
somebody
in
an
academy
what
that
PIQ
does,
and
we
have
mandatory
rejection
criteria
based
off
Knack
standards
has
to
do
with
time
and
distance
from
drugs,
time
and
distance
from
arrests.
That
PIQ
allows
us
to
triage
those
apps.
D
If
we
have
a
rejection
criteria,
we
have
to
just
respond
to
them
and
say
based
off
this,
we're
not
able
to
look
at
your
application,
please
reapply
at
a
certain
date
and
time,
but
the
ones
that
do
pass
that
rejection
criteria.
We
send
them
the
link
for
the
esoph,
and
that
is
hours
and
hours
and
hours
of
information
that
needs
to
come
to
us
before
we
start
the
background
investigation,
Bank
references
address
references,
work,
references,
personal
references.
D
We
tie
all
that
together,
we
bring
them
in
for
a
face-to-face
interview
and
then
we
put
them
on
what's
called
a
cvsa
computerized
voice.
Stress
analysis
is
one
thing
to
say
something
or
write
something,
but
we
just
confirmed
that
what
they're
saying
is
the
most
accurate
information
at
that
point,
we
send
them
to
the
hiring
board.
The
background's
job
is
done
at
that
point.
I
provide
the
hiring
board
with
the
information.
These
applications
look
great
in
the
hiring
board,
which
is
two
chiefs.
They
make
the
hiring
decision.
At
that
point.
Does
that
answer
your.
I
Question
yeah,
it
does.
Thank
you
very
much.
Chair
may
I
have
a
follow-up,
please,
okay!
Thank
you
because
then
part
of
the
reason
for
the
question
is
that's
very
detailed,
so
thank
you
and
I
I
I
admit
I
saw
that
you
didn't
no.
There
was
a
time
in
law
enforcement
when
there
was
a
big
focus
on
a
psychological
exam
which
it
and
did
you
mention
that
you
guys
still
have
that.
I
Yes,
okay,
oh
so
you
do
okay,
yeah,
because
you
know
there's
there's
if
I
may
continue.
Yes,
thank
you
and
I
was
wondering
that,
because
there's
some
research
that
really
looks
at
sometimes
that
that
can
disproportionately
exclude
people
of
color,
and
so
that's
why
it's
some
sort
of
just
that's.
I
Why
I
want
to
know
if
that's
there,
because
that
might
be
part
of
you've
done
you've
done
a
good
job
in
a
lot
of
the
areas
that
maybe
some
of
the
things
that
may
be
in
a
beer
for
for
a
Hispanic
officers
and
then
finally,
just
a
recommendation
acronyms
next
time.
Can
you
spell
those
out.
C
Thank
you,
Madam
chairman
I,
do
have
two
questions:
I'll
ask
for
a
follow-up,
but
first
off
following
in
the
same
line,
so
you
mentioned
laterals
how
many
laterals
come
in
in
proportion
to
locals
and
in
that
same
vein,
is
there
any
type
of
system
to
give
locals
of
the
service
area
a
leg
up
so
to
speak
over
laterals
or
people
from
outside
of
the
community.
D
I,
don't
have
an
exact
percentage-wise,
but
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that
we're
getting
laterals
in
like
they're,
going
out
of
style,
whether
we
have
a
better
program
or
not,
could
have
to
do
with
the
pay
could
have
to
do
with
the
ability
to
work
in
the
jail
that
jail
is
70
degrees
365
days
a
year
and
that
it's
either
nine
degrees
outside
in
the
winter
time
or
110
in
the
summertime.
Our
program
may
look
better.
D
I
could
tell
you
an
exact
number
right
now
we're
looking
at
five
laterals
that
are
on
our
board
and
they're
all
within
the
I'm.
Sorry,
four
of
them
are
within
the
great
state
of
Nevada.
One
of
them
is
post
certified
out
of
California
when
we
pick
up
a
lateral
from
the
state
of
Nevada,
their
Nevada
post
is
already
set
when
somebody
comes
from
another
state.
What
they
have
to
do
is
challenge
post
and
we
have
in
the
past
hired
them.
Given
the
final
offer,
they
come
to
work
for
us.
D
They
work
up
in
the
training
office
we
get
with
post
and
they
open
up
that
challenge.
Course
they
sit
there
and
they
do-
and
don't
quote
me
on
this-
it's
at
least
three
weeks
of
course
work
before
they're
ready
for
the
test.
Then
they
challenge
that
post
test.
So
from
a
business
standpoint,
the
leg
up
does
go
to
the
end
State
because
they
don't
have
to
challenge
post.
They
already
have
the
Nevada
post.
Did
that
answer
your
question,
sir?.
C
Actually,
no,
what
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
and
wanted
to
hear
based
on
what
Claire
complimented
you
on
is
what
the
Washoe
County
Sheriff's
Department
is
doing
to
develop
locals
to
be
people.
We
talk
about
this.
You
know
officers
or
Servants
of
the
community
I'm
a
firm
believer
that
you
need
to
be
a
part
of
the
community
before
you
can
serve
the
community
and
that
our
forces
should
be
developing
that
skill
set
within
the
community
before
it
gets
up
there.
D
Jason
Walker
and
just
to
follow
up
on
that
I'm.
Sorry
for
the
misunderstanding.
On
the
initial
question,
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that
sheriff
Balaam
authorizes
deputies
to
adopt
schools
in
the
area
and
what
they
do
is
go
out
and
we're
talking
not
just
college
level
we're
talking,
Elementary
School,
just
from
my
experience
when
you
get
somebody
at
that
high
school
college
level,
they've
already
in
a
certain
Lane,
and
they
know
what
they
want
to
do.
D
But
by
sending
these
deputies
out
there
to
be
that
law
enforcement
liaison
with
a
particular
school
it
sets
that
standard.
They
they
see
and
I'll
just
give
them
props.
They
see
Deputy
D
Metropolis,
he
works
for
me.
He
has
adopted
a
school
common
spelling
Demetropolis
by
the
way
he
has
adopted
a
school
and
he's
done
that
for
years
and
years
and
years
and
you
can
go
and
ask
those
kids
and
they're
youngsters.
What
do
you
want
to
do
when
you
grow
up?
D
C
E
A
You
do
you
know
like
even
just
like
a
like,
just
like
a
ballpark,
just
because
I
know
in
southern
Nevada,
I've
actually
heard
a
number
of
complaints
about
waiting
like
three
hours
to
get
to
three.
Like
do
you
know,
like
generally
under
30
minutes
or
anything
like
that,
Mary.
E

Thank
you
for
your
presentation
and
yes,
I
am
I'm
with
assembly
woman
Taylor
on
the
acronyms
I'm
like
I,
was
trying
to
write
him
down
as
I
was
going,
but
I
would
be
great
for
us
to
have
again
so
I
was
just
wondering:
how
does
your
office
interact
with
ice,
or
do
you
have
any
affiliation
with
that
department?.

A
A
We
do
have
one
more
presentation
for
the
Las
Vegas
Metropolitan
Police
Department,
the
office
of
intergovernmental
Affairs.
Today
we're
going
to
have
a
presentation
from
Miss
Beth
Schmidt,
the
director
of
Police
director
and
police
Sergeant,
as
well
as
police,
detective
Adrian
hunt
and
Playstation
Christopher
I
believe
rice,
Rhys
Reese.
Thank
you,
I
appreciate
it
and
you
may
begin
when
you're
ready.
K
K
B-E-T-H-S-C-H-M-I-D-T
and
I
am
the
director
of
intergovernmental
services
for
the
Las
Vegas
Metropolitan
Police
Department
with
me
today
are
detectives.
Adrian,
hunt
and
Chris
Reese
lvmpd
is
one
of
the
largest
police
agencies
in
the
United
States.
Our
mission
is
to
provide
exceptional
police
services
in
partnership
with
the
community.
K
We
want
to
stress
that
phrase
in
partnership
with
the
community,
because
we
recognize
as
a
law
enforcement
agency.
We
cannot
be
effective
in
working
exclusively
on
our
own.
Our
success
can
only
be
achieved
through
collaboration
by
building
strong
relationships
and
partnering
with
individuals,
groups
and
organizations
throughout
our
community.
We
police,
7560
square
miles
in
southern
Nevada.
K
The
lvmpd
uses
commissioned
officers
as
our
lobbyist
because
we
speak
from
positions
of
experience
and
knowledge
when
it
comes
to
policing
and
corrections,
as
the
Director
I
am
on
executive
staff.
This
is
my
14th
year
with
the
agency.
I
have
served
as
a
sergeant
a
detective
and
an
officer
Adrian
detective
Adrian
hunt
to
my
left.
Your
right
is
in
his
17th
year
with
the
lvmpd.
K
He
spent
13
years
as
a
corrections
officer
with
us
and
has
been
a
police
officer
for
four
years,
Detective
Chris
Reese
to
my
right.
Your
left
is
in
his
14th
year
with
the
lvmpd,
our
Sheriff
Kevin
mcmahill
was
sworn
in
last
month
as
the
eighth
elected
Sheriff
of
the
lvmpd
prior
to
becoming
our
Sheriff.
He
dedicated
30
years
to
our
organization,
rising
to
the
role
of
undersheriff.
For
then
Sheriff
Joe
Lombardo,
he
retired,
from
the
lvmpd
in
2020
and
in
2022.
K
He
successfully
ran
for
and
won
the
sheriff
of
Clark
County
race,
Sheriff
Kevin
mcmahill's
number
one
priority
is
to
inject
more
Humanity
into
our
policing
model.
And
what
do
we
mean
by
that?
Well,
history
shows
us
that
police
agencies
and
cities
and
counties
don't
improve
neighborhoods
by
arresting
their
way
out
of
the
problem.
K
If
we
want
to
improve
Public,
Safety
and
quality
of
life,
police
agencies
need
to
inject
more
Humanity
into
how
we
treat
the
people
we
are
allowed
to
serve.
After
all,
we
drive
our
power
from
our
community
as
an
agency
we're
moving
away
from
labeling
neighborhoods
as
problems
and
crime
hot
spots.
Instead,
we
see
them
for
what
they
are.
They
are
vulnerable
communities
and
we
are
asking
ourselves
how
we,
as
a
police
department,
can
create
dramatically
different
outcomes
and
create
lasting
relationships
moving
forward.
K
K
K
The
lbmpd
is
celebrating
our
50th
Anniversary.
This
year
we
were
created
in
1973
when
the
Nevada
legislature
voted
to
merge.
The
Clark
County
Sheriff's
Office,
with
the
Las
Vegas
Police
Department.
Historically,
most
police
departments
are
funded
by
cities
and
Sheriff's
departments
are
funded
by
counties.
Lvmpd
is
a
hybrid
among
law
enforcement
agencies.
K
The
lbmpd
is
funded
by
NRS
280..
This
dictates
that
the
fiscal
Affairs
committee
provides
oversight
and
approval
of
all
lvmpd
fiscal
issues,
except
for
the
Detention
Center
budget.
Our
budget
for
this
year
is
1.4
billion
dollars.
35
percent
of
our
budget
is
self-generated
from
property
and
sales
taxes.
The
remaining
65
percent
is
split
between
Clark
County
and
the
city
of
Las
Vegas,
based
on
a
formula
that
utilizes
population
calls
for
service
and
felony
crimes.
K
K
K
One
of
our
greatest
challenges
is
recruitment
and
retention,
which
are
nationwide
challenges
in
policing.
This
is
both
both
for
us.
It
is
both
on
the
commissioned
and
the
civilian
sides,
and
one
of
our
approaches
to
improving
recruitment
is
to
continue
to
build
bridges
in
the
Las
Vegas
Valley,
especially
in
our
communities
of
color,
because
we
still
remain
challenged
in
filling
our
ranks
with
non-white
officers.
K
K
K
We
have
other
bureaus
and
divisions
that
include
canine,
search
and
rescue.
We
have
our
own
forensic
lab.
We
have
crime
scene
investigators,
we
also
house
the
Southern
Nevada
counter-terrorism
Center,
which
serves
as
the
state
of
Nevada's
Fusion
Center.
We
have
a
real-time
crime,
Center
that
you
utilize
as
real-time
analytics
and
Technology
to
help
us
solve
crimes.
An
example
of
this
would
be
recently
one
of
our
real-time
camera
operators
located
bank
robbers
that
we
have
been
looking
for,
and
they
had
robbed
nine
banks
in
20
days
and
they
were
using
stolen
vehicles.
K
K
K
We
are
proud
to
say
that
the
lbmpd's
homicide
section
leads
the
nation
among
major
cities.
When
it
comes
to
solving
murders
in
2021,
we
solved
nearly
94
of
our
homicides.
In
Las
Vegas,
94
percent
and
89
percent
of
our
homicides
last
year,
and
many
of
those
investigations
are
still
continuing
from
2022
and
we
expect,
as
those
investigations
come
to
a
close,
we
expect
that
solvability
that
murder
solvability
number
to
rise
to
between
92
and
94
percent
solubility
rates
matter.
K
K
K
In
2014,
we
voluntarily
participated
in
a
body-worn
camera
pilot
program,
I
personally
stepped
up
and
volunteered
to
wear
a
camera,
and
consequently
the
lbmpd
became
the
first
major
Police
Department
to
wear
body,
worn
cameras
as
an
agency
we're
consistently
ahead
of
the
curve
when
it
comes
to
police
reform.
How
are
we
ahead
of
the
curve?
Well,
the
way
that
we
release
information
to
the
media,
including
our
transparency
and
our
accountability.
K
We
are
the
only
Police
Department
in
the
country
that
releases
a
video
with
preliminary
details
of
an
officer-involved
shooting
and
we
follow
that
up
with
a
live
media
briefing,
72
hours
after
a
critical
incident.
In
addition,
we
employ
a
dual
model
of
investigating
these
critical
incidents
through
our
Force
investigation
team
and
our
critical
incident
review
team.
K
There
is
further
participate
participation
in
this
process
from
the
community
in
the
form
of
Citizen
use
of
force,
review
board
members.
De-Escalation
is
a
critical
component
of
our
policing
model.
Our
officers
have
a
duty
to
intervene
with
no
retaliation
and
we
stress
the
importance
of
monitoring
subjects
and
immediately
summoning
medical
attention.
If
required,
we
hold
our
supervisors
accountable
and
we
expect
them
to
be
involved
in
the
management
of
our
overall
response
to
potentially
violent
encounters.
K
K
Bcdc
is
a
county
jail
and
I'll.
Just
quickly
explain
the
difference
between
a
jail
and
a
prison.
An
individual
is
housed
in
prison
if
they
have
been
sentenced
to
more
than
a
year
for
their
crime,
a
jail,
typically
houses,
individuals
who
are
serving
less
than
a
one-year
sentence
in
the
case
of
CCDC.
Most
of
our
inmates
are
awaiting
trial
or
sentencing
the
Clark
County
Detention
Center.
K
K
Sheriff
mcmahill's
intention
is
for
the
lvmpd
to
do
as
much
as
we
can
to
help
our
vulnerable
citizens
who
are
struggling
with
mental
health,
addiction
and
homelessness
and
two
months
into
his
tenure.
We
are
already
working
in
partnership
with
the
city
of
Las,
Vegas,
Clark,
County
and
other
stakeholders
to
solve
what
people
claim
are
unsolvable
problems.
K
But
we
can't
solve
these
problems
without
help
from
the
community,
and
one
of
the
Hallmarks
of
our
agency
is
the
way
we
build
relationships
and
conduct
community
outreach.
Community
engagement
is
a
tenet
of
our
agency.
Our
office
of
community
engagement
promotes
prevention,
education,
support
and
redirection.
K
Our
homeless
Outreach
team's
mission
is
to
partner
with
Community
providers
to
identify
those
alternatives
to
arrest
and
challenges
to
reduce
homelessness.
Some
of
our
other
Outreach
is
conducted
through
youth,
Outreach,
faith-based
programs.
First
Tuesdays
coffee
with
a
cop,
our
citizens,
police
academy
and
our
Hispanic
citizens,
Police,
Academy
and
I,
want
to
highlight
what
we
call
mmac
and
I
will
spell
out
the
acronym.
It
is
Metro's
Multicultural
advisory
Council
for
20
years.
K
This
diverse
group
of
community
members
has
listened
to
the
public
safety
concerns
of
our
community
and
worked
with
lvmpd
to
strategize
on
how
we
improve
policies
and
police
procedures
with
within
the
organization.
Mmac
members
represent
our
diverse
Community,
including
Hispanics
African-American
Asian,
Americans,
Arab
Americans,
the
lgbtqia
plus
Community,
the
ACLU,
the
Anti-Defamation
League
and
the
NAACP.
K
Some
of
the
current
challenges
that
mmac
is
helping
our
Agency
address
are
recruitment.
Mental
health
awareness,
homelessness,
substance
abuse
and
the
reduction
of
Youth
violence
and
homicide,
The
lbmpd
Remains
committed
to
ensuring
that
all
citizens
are
of
Southern
Nevada
feel
safe,
supported
and
proud
of
their
Police
Department.
Thank
you,
chair
Torres,.
A
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
again
for
your
great
presentation.
This
is
this
was
very
informative
and
a
very
much
needed
I
have
two
questions.
The
first
question
is:
is
pertaining
actually
before
I
even
asked.
The
question
I
want
to
really
commend
officer,
hunt
here,
detective
hunt,
who,
a
few
years
back,
helped
me
out
with
a
very
tense
situation.
We
had
at
Rancho
High
School
dealing
with
the
black
lives
matter
movement
and
this
real
need
for
the
students
to
have
a
conversation.
L
There
was
a
lot
of
sort
of
a
apprehension
from
administrators
in
order
to,
for
us,
even
host
is
sort
of
a
community
conversation
on
our
campus
after
school,
but
detective
hunt
was
able
to
help
me
and
we
had
a
excellent
conversation
where
we
had
representatives
of
law
enforcement,
as
well
as
folks
from
the
local
New
Era
and
Black
Panther
Party
in
the
same
room
with
our
young
people
and
had
one
of
the
most
fruitful
sort
of
civil
discourses
I've
ever
seen.
Young
high
schoolers
involved
with
so
I
really
want
to.
L
Thank
you
for
that
officer,
and
it's
great
to
see
that
you
are
also
now
part
of
this,
this
lobbying
team
here
for
this
legislative
session
and
that
really
leads
into
my
second
question.
I
didn't
see
too
much
here
about
the
youth
engagement
and
the
sort
of
the
programs
that
Metro
has
pertaining
directly
with
the
youth.
L
This
is
a
big
issue
right
now
we
see,
what's
going
on
in
the
news
currently
with
law
enforcement,
Visa
VR,
young
people
and
I
was
wondering
if
you
could
discuss
some
of
the
the
youth
oriented
programming
or
even
goals
that
you
may
have
here
in
the
near
future.
Thank
you.
M
Adrian
hunt
for
the
record.
Thank
you
supplement.
Yes,
so
I'm,
a
firm
believer
I'm,
a
product
of
the
city
of
Las,
Vegas
I,
grew
up
in
the
city,
I'm
a
firm
believer
in
what
they
see.
M
Record
for
the
record
Adrian
hunt,
adr-I-a-n-h-u-n-t
yeah
I'm,
a
firm
believer
in
what
they
see
is
what
they'll
be
so
I.
Think
that's
one
of
the
pivotal
things
that
we
need
to
have
Across
the
Nation
in
law
enforcement
is
just
mentoring.
The
youth.
A
lot
of
you
know
the
older
folk,
that's
stuck
in
their
ways,
so
we
got
to
get
with
you
know
to
the
young
folk,
so
I
definitely
run
a
program
and
I'm
I'm,
proud
to
say
that
it's
been
a
program.
M
That's
been
thriving
through
our
department,
it's
called
dream
which
stands
for
discover,
redirect
Empower,
Advocate
and
mentor,
and
the
program
pretty
much
consists
of
a
12-week
program
of
just
mentoring,
youth.
We
work
with
personal
development.
We
work
with
interactive
activities
and
it's
the
amazing
thing
is
when
you
start
a
lot
of
course,
the
youth
they're
apprehensive
of
law
enforcement
and
about
when
they're,
when
they're,
pretty
much
done
with
the
program.
They're
asking
questions
like.
M
Oh,
how
can
I
be
an
officer,
so
I
think
it's
really
a
great
a
really
good
great
program
to
pretty
much
what
we
get
to
humanize
the
badge
as
well
and
show
the
kids
that
we're
human.
Just
like
like
you
guys,
we
love
the
same
music.
We
love
the
same
Things
Hobbies.
So
that's
one
of
the
programs.
That's
really
been
thriving
for
our
agency.
M
We
have
a
section
which
pretty
much
is
Outreach
for
our
youth
and
I've
worked
with
officer
Arnold
Parker
many
times
in
going
into
high
schools
talking
to
kids
in
regards
to
just
Life
Choices,
so
we're
definitely
out
there
as
an
agency,
we're
Progressive
getting
out
there
trying
to
work
with
our
youth
and
pretty
much
trying
to
bridge
that
Gap,
so
I
know
it's
been
two
area
commands
now
the
the
program
dream
the
plan
is
to
expand
it
to
all
area
commands
all
ten.
So
we
look
forward
to
that
in
the
future.
L
Got
you
thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
my
second
question
is
pertaining
to
the
Northeast
area
command
in
this
room.
Actually
you
have
your
whole
delegation,
including
assembly,
woman
Moscow,
who
just
walked
in
here
for
a
presentation.
I
think
the
only
person
missing
is
assemblyman
yurich,
but
there's
been.
There
have
been
some
conversations
about
getting
officers
out
on
the
on
the
streets
walking
the
street
to
the
beach
so
to
speak.
L
I
know
this
is
something
that
we
see
commonplace
in
cities
like
New,
York,
Philadelphia,
Boston,
Chicago,
even
Los
Angeles
I
was
wondering
if
there's
any
sort
of
efforts
being
made
by
Metro,
particularly
in
the
Northeast
part
of
town.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
Beth
Schmidt,
for
the
record,
thank
you
for
for
bringing
that
bringing
that
up.
One
of
the
challenges
that
we
have
is
just
the
vast
area
that
we
cover
and
what
we,
what
we
realize
is
that
you
need
to
have
police
out
there
in
neighborhoods
that
are
vulnerable
before
problems
happen.
K
It
it
we're
very
good,
as
an
agency
of
getting
out
there
and
most
police
agencies
are
when,
when
there
has
been
a
crime,
there
has
been
something.
That's
happened
that
responsiveness.
What
we
are
trying
to
do
is
to
incorporate
more
of
exactly
what
you're
saying,
which
is
getting
out
ahead
of
the
curve
developing
the
relationships
and
having
worked
as
a
community
policing,
Sergeant
I
can
tell
you
that
that
is
where
we
do.
Our
best
work
is
when
I
can
get
those
officers
out
there
get
out
of
your
car.
K
Is
it
something
that
we
as
a
as
a
supervisory
group
and
as
Leaders,
what
we're
always
pushing
is
get
out
of
your
car?
You
need
to
talk
to
people.
We
need
to
interact
just
as
humans.
We
need
to
interact.
So
that
is
something
that,
yes,
we
have
a
new
captain
that
is
over
I.
Think
it's
been
about
two
months
now
that
Captain
Roberts
has
been
over
the
Northeast
area
command
and
those
and
that
direction
and
those
conversations
are
are
being
had
with
our
officers
and
our
supervisors.
M
If
I
can
add
real,
quick
Adrian
hunt
for
the
record,
we
also
have
cop
teams
our
community-oriented
policing
teams
and
they
are
specifically
geared
to
go
out
to
communities
in
areas
that
are
vulnerable
and
and
give
resources.
You
know-
and
you
know
we
do
things
like
in
the
neighborhoods
of
coffee
with
a
cop,
we
do
things
pause
for
patrol.
We
also
do
engagement
with
the
Youth
of
ice
cream
with
a
cop,
so
we'll
pretty
much.
M
N
N
N
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
have
that
answer
in
your
I
didn't
see
it
in
the
slides
but
the
demographic
of
of
the
5800
folks
in
Metro,
and
then
the
second
part
of
that
question
is
that
if
you
have
folks
with
language
language
capability
in
those
hard
to
find
languages
outside
of
his
outside
of
the
Latino
community,
so
just
want
to
see
if
you
have
those
stats.
Thank
you.
K
K
We
know
we
have
work
to
do.
We
know
that
I'm
very
pleased
in
talking
to
one
of
our
recruiting
sergeants
recently,
and
he
told
me
that
our
one
of
the
recent,
maybe
the
most
recent
Academy
class
that
we
have
is
50
Hispanic.
K
K
Every
single
person
has
the
QR
code,
which
takes
you
to
our
recruitment
site
everybody's,
a
recruiter,
and
we
we
know
we
have
work
to
do.
We
know
that,
and
we
are
historically,
agencies
tend
to
look
elsewhere
and
sheriff.
Mcmahill
is
saying
we
need,
we
need
to
look
internally,
we
need,
or
within
the
valley,
within
the
state.
We
need
to
look
in
our
community
and
and
do
assignment
Carter's
point
that
we
need
people
who
who
come
out
of
our
community.
But
how
do
you
do
that?
It
doesn't
just
magically
happen.
K
A
Probably
don't
know
I
supplemented
when
we'd
really
have
our
short
on
time,
because
we
have
a
bell
presentation
after
this
and
I
have
a
number
of
questions
left.
Okay,
but
if
you
do
have
additional
questions,
please
make
sure
that
you
meet
with
them
after
and
then
we
can
also
have
the
committee
send
them
out.
So
if
you
want
to
just
send
them
our
way,
we
can
ask
for
that
Clarity
and
just
send
them
out
and
then
get
it
to
all
the
members
of
the
committee.
Thank
you,
I
appreciate
it
and
assemblywoman
Gonzalez.
F
Thank
you
so
much
Cecilia
Gonzalez
district
16
for
the
record
again
number
of
questions.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentations,
but
I'll
keep
it
short
and
focus
on
one
of
my
questions.
You
mentioned
that
your
use
of
force
policy
updates,
depending
on
incidents,
so
I,
was
just
curious.
If
you
could
maybe
speak
to
the
most
recent
incident
that
occurred,
that
made
you
all
change
your
policy.
F
You
know
standards
if
you
will.
Thank
you
so
much.
K
Beth
Schmidt
for
the
record,
our
policy
and
procedure
is
constantly
changing,
and
this
is
something
where
and
when
that,
when
that
happens,
that
is
pushed
out
electronically.
We
we
have
a.
We
have
a
portal
that
we
we
all
have
to
go
into
and
read
and
there
are
tests
and
you
so
you
know
the
new
policy
and
I'm
sorry
I,
Need,
Just,
A
and
I'm,
going
to
try
and
chair
be
as
brief
as
I
can
and
concise
as
I
can.
If
you
can
just
ask
that
again,
I'm
just
Cecilia.
F
Gonzalez
district
16
for
the
record.
So
in
your
presentation,
when
discussing
use
of
force,
you
stated
that
it
was
a
national
policy
right
that
other
that
you
are
on
a
national
platform
for
for
this
policy,
and
then
you
stated
that
when
infractions
happen,
so
when
you
have
incidents
with
use
of
force
with
officers,
you
then
take
that
internally
and
review
it
and
then
change
your
policy.
So
I
was
just
curious
like
what
is
your
use
of
force
policy?
F
K
Schmidt
for
the
record,
we
require
supervisory
presence
and
Leadership.
So
it's
not
an
excuse
to
say,
I,
didn't
read
the
policy
I,
don't
understand
the
policy
that
is
done
at
a
at
out
in
briefings.
That
is
done
in
conversations
as
soon
as
policy
changes
and
what
are
some
of
the
things
we
do.
I
mean:
let's
talk
about.
Let's
talk
about
an
elephant
in
the
room
three
years
ago,
George
Floyd.
K
How
does
something
like
that
happen
and
then
how?
Three
years
later
does
Tyree
Nichols
murdered,
pulled
out
of
a
car
and
murdered?
How
does
that
happen
and
what
we
do
is
we
look
at
those
in
incidences,
but
we
also
look
at
our
own
incidences
to
say
what
are
we
doing
right?
What
are
we
doing
wrong?
One
of
the
things
that
we
we
throw
the
word
around
a
lot
is
de-escalation.
K
De-Escalation
is
look,
it
is
at
times
it
was
very
scary
to
be
a
cop
to
come
up
on
these
situations.
You're
born
with
this
confidence.
You
aren't
born
with
this
innate
ability
to
approach
these
situations.
Oftentimes
myself
as
a
patrol
supervisor,
I,
would
get
up
on
the
radio
and
say
take
a
deep
breath.
Take
a
deep
breath,
slow
down
and,
and
that's
part
of
I
mean
that's
a
literal
part
of
trying
to
just
trigger
people
and
remind
them
to
slow
down
think
about
what
you're
doing
gather
the
resources,
Don't
Force
the
situation.
K
So
that's
sort
of
the
mindset
that
we
come
from
and
and
all
of
those
discussions
are
on
a
daily
basis,
because
no
one
gets
up
in
the
morning
wanting
to
hurt
someone
else.
We
want
to
do
the
right
thing
and
what
we
have
found
is
incorporating.
De-Escalation
has
been
critical
to
changing
policing
Nationwide,
but
we
see
that
we
are
yes,
we
are
a
leader
when
it
comes
to
use
of
force.
However,
what
we
see
in
incidences
across
the
country
where
people
die
is
that
that
is
not
Universal.
O
If
I
can
jump
in
as
well,
it's
Chris
Reese
for
the
record
r-I-e-s
assembly
woman,
the
our
use
of
force
policy
is
always
on
our
website
lvmpd.com
as
long
I'm.
Sorry,
as
well
as
a
five-year
use
of
force
of
report,
so
we
update
that
every
year
for
the
previous
five
years
for
use
of
the
force,
complaints
and
whatnot,
so
you
can
on
top
of
doing
reports.
A
K
Beth
Schmidt
for
the
record
I
do
not,
but
it
is
not
good
and
we
are
down
hundreds
at
this
point
and
I
don't
want
to
give
you
the
wrong
number
on
that.
I
understand
that
it
is
changing.
It
is
incredibly
important
to
our
Sheriff
to
fill
those
spots
because
we
can't
properly
police
our
community.
Now
I
shouldn't
say
we
can't
probably
we
we
need
those
officers
to
achieve
what
we're
trying
to
achieve
in
the
community.
G
If,
when
you
get
those
numbers,
could
you
provide
them
to
the
committee
staff?
Please
absolutely
thank
you.
A
H
Thank
you
again
for
the
presentation
and
some
of
your
answers
that
you've
shared
with
us.
My
quick
question
actually
has
to
do
with
budget
technology
and
you
know
for
personal
disclosure.
H
H
You
give
the
DA's
office
along
with
the
PD's
office.
This
is
free
and
I.
Don't
know
if
this
is
because
of
Statute
or
not,
but
for
the
General
Public
me
as
a
citizen
and
I
want.
You
know,
you
know
footage
of
what
happened.
Whatever
incident
I
have
to
pay
280
dollars
per
hour.
O
The
Chris
Reese
for
the
record,
I
think
for
the
comment
or
the
question
assembly,
woman
I'm,
not
quite
sure
when
the
policy
became
effective.
I
do
know
that
we
update
that
policy,
I
believe
in
July
we
update
the
the
the
monetary
cost
of
it.
I
will
say
that
the
the
unredacted
version
of
the
video
does
get
taken
to
the
PDS
and
the
in
the
DA's.
The
issue
comes
in
when
a
citizen
requested,
then
we
do
have
to
redact
that
footage.
O
You
know
in
good
conscience,
we
can't
show
the
inside
of
somebody's
house
or
birth
dates,
so
the
redaction
of
it
is
what
cost
the
money
we
have
a
two
squads
with
two
sergeants
lieutenants.
You
know
the
the
the
the
fees
are.
Are
there
because
it
costs
us
quite
a
bit
of
money.
We
also
have
civilian
staff
that
can
do
reports
and
whatnot.
So
we
welcome
any
feedback
if
there's
any
way
that
we
can
save
money
for
for
the
department
and
for
the
citizen.
O
We
we
certainly
welcome
that
feedback
and
we're
we're
always
welcome
to
feedback.
I
Thank
you,
chair
I,
noticed
on
one
of
the
slides.
You
talked
to
and
proudly
about
being
one
of
the
first
especially
large
agencies
to
to
embrace
body
cameras
and
so
on,
and
I
certainly
want
to
applaud
you
for
that
I'm
wondering.
If
do
you
audit
that
footage
at
all
like
for
a
compliance,
or
you
know
that
they're
actually
being
used
in
any
kind
of
auditing
in
place.
K
K
The
first
couple
days,
you're
aware
of
it
and
after
that
you're
not-
and
you
just
do
your
job.
Yes,
there
is.
There
is
an
auditing
process
and
we
also
have
a
standard
of
what
percentage
rate.
We
expect
that
officer
to
use
use
the
camera,
because
there
are
times
when
it
it
needs
to
be
turned
off.
We
have
a
a
robust
policy
on
body,
worn
camera.
We
are
above
our
percentage
of
what
we
what
we
hold
our
officers
to
we're.
K
We
are
actually
above
that
and
I
I,
don't
want
to
misquote
the
numbers,
but
I
will
tell
you
that
I
will
get
those
to
you
and
as
far
as
going
through
the
footage
sort
of
we
don't
we
don't
go
through
them.
We
do
have
a
policy
about
that
that
we
don't
just
willy-nilly,
go
through
the
body,
worn
camera.
The
cameras
are
really
used,
mainly
in
that
regard.
It
kind
of
accomplishes
the
same,
which
is
an
internal
affairs.
K
J
Good
morning
and
thank
you
for
your
report,
it
was
very
informative.
During
the
21
legislative
session,
this
committee
asked
about
the
relationship
with
Metro
and
immigration
had
it
had
and
what
the
contracts
exist.
We
were
told
that
there
was
no
formal
agreements
and
there
was
no
formal
communication
between
the
law
enforcement
and
nice.
However,
over
the
last
year
we
have
seen
different
reports
from
Clarity
the
role
in
deportation.
J
K
I,
thank
you
for
that
question
and
I'll,
be
very
honest
with
you.
I
am
new
in
this
position.
My
name
is
Beth
Schmidt
for
the
record.
I'll
be
very
honest
with
you.
I
am
new
into
this
position
and
I,
and
this
is
an
incredibly
important
point
and
what
I
want
to
do
is
we.
We
don't
have
a
relationship
with
ice
they're
not
in
our
jail,
but
let
let
me
let
me
get
an
A,
a
clear
answer
for
you
and
a
clear
statement.
Would
that
would
that
suffice?
K
J
A
There's
clearly,
some
miscommunication
I
want
to
identify
exactly
where
that
is
because
it's
unfair
to
this
committee
that
this
department
can
come
to
this
committee
and
say
one
thing
is
occurring,
but
we're
hearing
a
different
thing
from
our
constituencies.
We're
hearing
a
different
thing
on
the
campaign
Trail,
and
so
our
expectation
is
that
this
is
a
relationship
of
trust
and
that
this
department
comes
to
this
committee
to
speak
honestly
about
what's
happening
and
I.
Understand
that
you
all
weren't
here
during
that
session.
A
It
wasn't
you
all
that
were
the
face
of
this
organization,
but
additionally,
like
I,
think
it's
just
frustrating
as
a
legislator
when
you're
trying
to
create
policy
that
makes
that
impacts
the
state
for
this
department
to
come
and
make
a
fool
of
this
committee,
which
is
what
happened
in
2021
and
I
hope.
It
never
happens
again.
So
if
we
can
get
all
of
that
information,
that
would
be
very
helpful.
A
Thank
you
at
this
time.
I,
don't
believe,
there's
any
other
questions.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentation.
We
do
appreciate
it
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
you
in
this
committee.
A
All
right,
so,
our
next
next
on
our
gender
is
ab82,
which
designates
World
Esports
day
as
a
day
of
observance
in
this
state
and
we're
very
excited
to
invite
assemblywoman,
Erica
mosca
to
come
present
and
I.
Do
know
that
we
have
the
CEO
of
Vegas
Inferno
on
Zoom
Mr
Michael
Cox.
If
you
want
to
go
ahead
and
join
us,
I
believe
that
you'll
be
assisting
in
the
presentation.
P
Thank
you
chair
great,
to
see
everybody
today.
This
is
my
first
one,
so
I
appreciate
it.
Okay,
thank
you,
chair
Torres,
Vice,
chair
Duran
and
members
of
the
committee
I'm
excited
to
be
here
today
to
present
on
assembly.
Bill
82
I
will
provide
a
brief
introduction
and
then
I'm
going
to
yield
to
my
colleagues
who
represent
the
three
constituent
groups
that
this
bill
is
coming
from:
young
people,
industry
and
Families
we're
simply
asking
for
a
day
to
recognize
Esports
in
our
state.
P
As
someone
who
believes
deeply
in
student
voice
and
advocacy
and
has
done
my
work
in
education
for
the
past
15
years,
I'm
proud
that
ab82
is
my
constituent
Bill
and
gives
legitimacy
to
those
who
are
supporting
young
people
creatively
in
ways
that
most
relate
to
them
and
that
support
intentional
Workforce.
Development
I'm
also
proud
to
support
my
district
in
east
Las
Vegas,
where
you'd
be
surprised
to
know
houses,
one
of
the
largest
Esports
businesses
genres
sportswear
here
in
Nevada.
P
So
what
is
Esports
I
had
to
get
that
answer
too.
When
I
started
this
a
few
months
ago,
my
colleagues
Define
Esports,
as
the
Pinnacle
spot
for
current
and
future
pipeline
of
the
video
game,
Workforce
K-12
from
Clark
to
Churchill
to
Washoe
and
Northern
and
Southern
Nevada
colleges
have
students
who
are
playing
video
games
as
a
team,
sport
gaining
Workforce,
Development
and
winning
scholarships.
P
So,
yes,
I
know
it
sounds
strange:
promoting
video
game
usage
and
even
asking
for
a
day
in
Nevada
to
align
to
World
Esports
day,
but
the
education
and
the
community
that
come
from
this
sport
are
inspirational
and
empowering
young
nebadans,
with
productive,
team-based,
extracurricular
activities
with
positive
outcomes.
This
bill
establishes
a
day
of
observance
and
there
are
currently
27
in
our
state.
P
These
days
are
brought
forward
to
bring
awareness
to
fellow
nevadans
and,
if
you've
already
learned
something
new
today,
that's
why
we're
asking
for
this
day
to
bring
awareness
to
an
asset
that
exists
within
our
community.
So
thank
you
and
I'll
yield
to
my
colleague,
Hugh
Lee,
who
is
at
Grant

education
League,
which
is
Nevada's
only
student-based
non-profit,
currently
we're
not
here
to
support
or
against
the
recognition
of
the
Esports
day
bill.
But
we
are
here
to
bring
grassroot
data
of
the
Nevada

the
previous
years.

Q
Our
Statewide

have
currently
is
at
over
165

the
community,

over
Nevada
from
ages,
15
to
50,
males
and
females
over
all
diversities
have
been
interested
in
Esports
and
have
participated
in
it.
Nevada
has
also
a
60
plus
local
Esports
organizations,
ranging
from
colleges
high

area
are
involved
in
local

Finally,
we
have
fundraised
about
21

R
T
Good
morning
all
my
name
is
Edward
Thompson
Edward,
Wells
Thompson.
Excuse
me:
Edward
edw,
Ard,
Wells,
w-e-l-l-s,
Thompson,
t-h-o-m-p-s-o-n.
T
I
would
like
to
thank
assemblywoman
Moscow
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today,
I'm
speaking
to
you
from
a
personal
place
this
morning
in
regards
to
Esports
as
a
husband
and
a
father
of
five
boys,
I've
experienced
firsthand
how
Esports
help
my
children
manage
to
do
the
pandemic.
If
you
have
children,
we
can
all
relate
with
the
idea
that
each
child
is
different,
different
and
different
interests
in
clothing,
music,
food
and
hobbies.
But
the
common
denominator
for
my
house,
my
household,
has
been
Esports
during
the
pandemic.
T
We
use
the
time
to
compete,
socialize
or
just
spend
time
with
one
another.
Our
boys
used
used
it
as
a
means
to
also
build
communities
with
others
all
around
the
world
that
were
going
through
various
challenges
during
the
pandemic.
It
helped
them
cope
with
the
madness,
the
community
of
young
men
and
women
built
through
the
pandemic.
They
still
talk
to
you
to
this
day.
T
I
also
work
at
the
city
of
Las
Vegas
as
a
Workforce
Development
specialist
ydsi
program,
I
develop
programs
that
create
opportunities
for
young
adults
and
adults
by
training
and
providing
new
career
opportunities
in
various
Fields.
One
of
the
career,
Fields
I,
have
a
true
passion
for
would
be
Esports
and
the
transferable
skills
that
come
from
it
into
underserved,
neighborhoods
I,
serve.
T
Esports,
has
brought
hope
and
opportunity
to
our
young
men
and
women
in
this
community
of
bright
individuals,
just
as
Sports
and
music
was
used
as
a
means
to
change
the
trajectory
of
their
lives
from
negative
to
positive
Esports
has
become.
That
means
to
a
positive
change,
not
just
in
the
area
of
competing,
but
in
the
transferable
skills
learned
in
this
career
field.
The
transferable
skills,
such
as
teamwork,
leadership,
communication,
strategic
thinking,
problem
solving
decision,
making
analytic
skills,
cyber
skills,
the
ability
to
multitask
dexterity,
improving
processing
ability,
improving
reaction
times
again
hope
and
opportunity.
T
A
U
So
they
mentioned
earlier
that
Esports
effects
from
the
ages
of
5
to
50
and
I'm
a
little
bit
older
than
that,
and
my
son
and
my
son-in-law
played
all
the
time
and
they've
talked
me
into
playing
and
it's
a
good
way
for
me
to
get
with
together
with
them
even
spread
out
throughout
this.
You
know
United
States
we
can
get
together
and
do
this
and
just
want
to
say
I
have
a
pretty
mean
nasus,
Top,
Lane
and
I'm
got
a
pretty
good
Blitz
crank
to
support
so
yeah.
It's
it's
a
lot
of
fun.
A
A
P
Thank
you,
chair
and,
and
to
you
too
member
Koenig,
thank
you
and
I
learned
something
new
about
you,
but
for
this
that's
a
very
good
question
chair,
because
there
are
two
different
type
of
Esports
and
that's
important
to
understand.
The
one
piece
of
legislation
that
came
last
session
was
for
the
gaming
Esports.
This
is
different,
so
if
you
know
the
hyperx
arena
there
that's
a
gambling.
This
is
really
for
young
people
who
play
video
games
and
then
they
have
a
tournament.
P
So
if
you've
ever
played
Mario
Kart
at
home-
and
you
then
now
play
it
streaming
together,
you
can
actually
compete
against
each
other,
so
young
people
have
come
together
with
thousands
of
people
according
to
my
colleague
down
south
and
they
compete
against
each
other.
So
it's
a
video
game
tournament
and
at
the
Collegiate
level
they
do
it
as
well
and
a
great
item
that
comes
from
it
are
scholarships.
So
winners
usually
win
scholarship
money.
A
Thank
you,
I'm,
hoping
that
there's
an
esport
day
at
the
legislature
sometime
soon,
so
we
all
get
to
play.
I
know
it's
only
MacArthur
and
I
were
gonna
race
at
Mario,
Kart
I
think
I
can
beat
them
even
though
he's
been
driving
for
forever
I,
don't
believe
it
I,
don't
believe.
There's
any
additional
questions
from
this
committee.
A
A
When
you're
ready,
you
may
begin
just
a
reminder:
you'll
have
two
minutes
for
those
wishing
to
testify
and
support
opposition
in
neutral
and
additionally,
just
make
sure
you
say
your
name
and
spell
your
name
for
the
record.
Thank
you.
V
Hello,
my
name
is
Raymond
Wu
r-a-y-m-o-n-d
last
name-w-u,
so
I'm
a
political
science
major
at
the
University
of
Nevada,
Reno
and
I'm
in
support
of
this
bill,
because
eastwoods
was
able
to
provide
me
with
not
only
competition
but
a
community
to
be
a
part
of
when
I
did
not
have
one
in
school.
So
like,
as
everyone
know,
imagine
that
typical
kid,
like
the
last
pick
in
a
basketball
game,
the
one
that
was
always
picked
on
the
brunt
of
every
joke,
they
came
in
the
back
of
the
classroom.
V
I
was
pretty
much
that
kid
and
when
I
had
no
place
to
turn
in
school,
I
turned
to
Esports
games
like
CS
go
and
League
of
Legends
I
was
able
to
find
basically,
instead
of
being
the
last
pick.
I
was
always
one
of
the
first
I
was
recognized
for
my
skills.
Instead
of
being
bullied,
I
was
be
able
to
become
somebody
when
in
school,
I
was
a
nobody
and
I
was
able
to
find
some
of
the
greatest
people.
V
I've
ever
met
in
my
life,
who
are
still
some
of
my
closest
friends
now
through
this
community
I,
was
able
to
build
up
through
this
process
through
Esports,
and
this
community
is
only
starting
to
grow
right,
I
started
off
in
middle
school
and
back
then
nobody
really
knew
about
Esports
and
now
I'm
talking
about
that
about
Esports
and
the
Nevada
legislature.
V
So,
like
imagine
how
many
other
kids
like
me,
who
were
able
to
find
a
home
a
community,
a
group
of
friends,
a
sense
of
belonging,
that
I
was
able
to
go
through
this
process?
How
many
more
people
in
the
state
of
Nevada
are
going
to
go
through
that
and
how
important
it
is
for
them
to
have
a
day
to
recognize
their
skills,
their
dedication
and
their
passion
right?
We
don't
have
a
Super
Bowl.
We
don't
have
the
NBA
Finals,
but
we
can
have
this
day
for
ourselves,
at
least
within
this
state.
V
X
X
I
want
to
say
that
our
organization
is
dedicated
to
maximizing
the
participation
of
Nevada's,
vibrant
Asian,
Pacific
Islander
community
and
it's
a
powerful
force
in
elections
in
all
levels
of
political
processes.
So
you
might
be
asking
why
am
I
talking
about
this?
Well
through
our
continued
Outreach
and
collaborations
with
API
small
businesses,
restaurants
and
organizations?
We
actually
got
to
know
a
lot
of
folks
and
their
personal
stories
that
Esports
plays
a
critical
and
cultural
role
and
educational
role
for
many
of
our
community
members
and
even
during
the
election.
X
Y
Y
Z
Z
P-I-E-R-C-Z-Y-N-S-K-I
and
I
represent
the
Nevada
Association
of
school
superintendents
and
we're
in
support
of
this
bill.
It
you've
heard
all
the
good
things
that
Esports
do
for
young
people
and
it's
a
niche
for
some
of
our
students
who
have
not
excelled
in
football
and
basketball
and
baseball,
and
all
these
other
things.
So
we
appreciate
that
this
bill
has
been
brought
forward
and
the
proclamation
will
draw
attention
to
Esports.
Thank
you.
A
AB
Okay,
perfect,
my
name
is
Roy
Tristan,
for
the
record
is
called
Roi
base,
t-r-I-s-t-a-n
I'm
current,
a
UNLV
grad
student
attending
UNLV
for
the
MBA
program,
I'm
from
February
District,
16.,
I
like
to
say
I'm,
in
full
support
of
the
bill,
purely
because
we
have
a
simple
issue
that
could
be
solved
by
recognizing
Esports
in
the
state
fairly
because
we
are
fighting
for
support
and,
as
everybody
else
before
me
stated
that
all
the
good
that
we
do
our
good
could
be
doubled
if
we
are
recognized
efficiently
by
the
state
and
to
be
honest,
what
better
way
than
to
get
visibility
is
to
a
proclamation.
AB
So
if
we,
if
this
bill
is
passed,
then
it's
going
to
be
significantly
helping
us
get
more
visibility,
which
means
they
can
climb
and
ensure,
maybe
a
foot
closer
to
the
National
stage
so
moving
forward.
If
this
bill
is
passed-
and
hopefully
it
will
be,
our
visibility
will
be
increased
and
will
be
helped
in
our
towards
spreading
the
Goodwill
and
the
good
work
of
the
Esports
community
that
affects
everybody.
AB
AC
Hello,
this
is
Hira
or
Trio
j-a-I-r-o-u-r-c-u-y-o
I
just
want
to
make
sure
you
guys
can
hear
me.
AC
Perfect
I
am
the
CEO
and
founder
of
Las
Vegas
Inferno,
the
official
e-course
in
Las
Vegas
I,
wanted
to
call
in
and
testify
on
the
behalf
of
the
bill.
I
definitely
think
it's
a
great
idea
is
something
that
we've
been
striving
for
for
the
past
three
years
from
our
mission
statement
in
the
workforce,
whether
it
be
from
practice
designing
photography,
I
come
from
this
from
CSN
myself,
graduated
Sierra
Vista
here
all
locally
in
Las
Vegas
found
Esports
is
a
passion
and
it
actually
took
me
to
college
itself.
AC
So
if
I
wouldn't
have
found,
Esports
I
would
have
never
went
to
college
in
the
first
place,
so
I
think
it's
very
important
to
develop
Esports
in
Nevada
even
more
now
that
we're
doing
this
and
bringing
the
Next
Generation
and
help
guide
them
into
the
right
career
path.
The
community
keep
supporting
the
community
as
a
whole,
and
that's
all
I
wanted
to
say
on
my
behalf.
A
A
W
AD
I'm
supporting
this
bill
because
Esports
has
changed
my
life
multiple
times.
First
of
all,
it
has
given
me
a
lot
of
social
skills.
It's
really
helped
me
out
to
speak
more
with
people
get
more
friends
improve
the
way
I
I
behave
with
other
people.
It
also
playing
video
games.
I
have
gained
very
important
economic
support
to
be
able
to
continue.
My
education
also
teach
me
how
stem
is
a
very
important
field
that
I
want
to
keep
on
track.
That's
what
I'm
studying
computer
science.
AD
AD
A
P
P
Erica
mosca
e-r-I-c-a-m-o-s-c-a
for
the
record
I
just
want
to
thank
the
committee.
Thank
you
all
for
listening
and
learning,
and
also
thank
all
the
supporters
who
took
time
to
participate,
especially
our
young
people,
who
are
showing
what's
possible
for
our
state
and
I'll.
Just
leave
you
with
the
world
Esports
day
was
established
in
Europe
and
if
Nevada
has
a
proclamation
will
be
the
first
state
to
adopt.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
considering.

cleaning

of
the
legislative
building
to

in
deputies
randomly
drug
tested?
That
would
be
some
real
accountability,
because
police
can
basically
kill
without
consequence,
but
aren't
randomly
drug
tested
law
enforcement
doesn't
forget
homicide
victims,
just
the
ones
they
have
killed
themselves.
Where
was
the
humanity
shown
to
my
140
pound,
soaking,
wet
mentally
ill
non-violent
brother
by
Washoe,
County,
Sheriff's
Office?
As
far
as
lbmcd
providing
preliminary
report
to
the
public,
it's
actually
a
tactic.
S
They
use
to
criminalize
the
victim
and
get
their
narrative
out
to
to
turn
the
court
of
public
opinion
in
their
favor
immediately.
As
we
all
know,
a
dead
person
can't
defend
themselves.
Just
like
my
brother
can't
defend
themselves
and
that's
why
I
advocate
for
him
and
others
every
single
day.
If
this
committee
is
angered
by
law
enforcement,
telling
lies,
imagine
fixating
your
loved
one
and
and
then
telling
you
he
just
suddenly
stopped
breathing
and
died
only
to
find
out
the
truth.
