Commendable Crime Fighting

Metro's Convention Center Area Command is at the epicenter of everything that happens on the Strip corridor.  They would not be able to address as many incidents as they do without their partnership with resort and retail security teams. Here are just a few examples of Security Personnel and LVMPD working together to ensure the safety of our locals and visitors alike:

• In January, an 80 year old woman was walking through a mall when a suspect attempted to snatch her purse from her shoulder. Security arrived on scene and was able to successfully place the suspect in custody and retrieve the victim's purse. Protecting our most vulnerable citizens is critical, especially in areas such as shopping malls and parking garages.
• Recently, several pick-pocketing crews were targeting guests as they traveled to and from a strip resort property. The resort's security teams collected photos of the various crews and their investigators worked directly with Metro to track and locate the suspects. The collaboration led to multiple arrests which resulted in a drastic reduction in pick-pocket thefts.
• In February, a strip resort security officer observed an underage child attempting to enter the casino without a guardian. When contacted, the child identified himself to security and stated he came to the casino alone after school. He then stated he got on a bus, went to Henderson and returned back to the Strip to another resort property. When the grandmother was contacted, she stated the child was a runaway. Metro responded and contacted CPS who took custody of the child who was returned to his grandmother.
• Resort security officers responded to a distressed suicidal male on the 6th floor of a parking garage who was contemplating jumping. Security displayed commendable conduct with their swift and empathetic response to a distressing situation and averted a potential tragedy. Security engaged with the male and kept him from jumping until LVMPD officers arrived and were able to detain him safely.
