New Police Substation Approved For Fremont Street Downtown
Joint Substation Is A Partnership Between The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, City Of Las Vegas Department Of Public Safety And Fremont Street Experience
The Las Vegas City Council today approved a new partnership with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) and the Fremont Street Experience (FSE) for a police substation located on Fremont Street downtown. This new substation will be used by deputy city marshals, LVMPD officers and FSE security, working together to improve public safety in the downtown tourist corridor. Currently, all three of those entities have teamed to provide a higher level of security in and around the FSE.
“Public Safety is the city’s top priority and this new substation will allow for an increased law enforcement presence in downtown and specifically the Fremont Street Experience,” Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman said. “We want all of our residents and visitors to enjoy everything that our city has to offer, while being confident that they are safe and secure.”
The new substation will be located at 425 E. Fremont St. and will open later this year. It is part of the city’s Operation S.A.F.E.R. (Stronger Alliance For Enforcement And Relationships) program. For more information about this program and other downtown safety measures, visit www.lasvegasnevada.gov/downtownsafety.
In addition to the law enforcement presence at the substation, the location will include representatives from the city's Business Licensing team.
