I am incredibly grateful to be here with all of you to see the light at the end of this very long tunnel. As a friendly reminder, COVID-19 vaccinations are available! Schedule an appointment at https://vax4nv.nv.gov/.

Apply now: The North Las Vegas Police Department Citizen’s Academy
The North Las Vegas Police Department is inviting residents to participate in the next Hispanic Citizens Academy.
The 10-week program is designed to give North Las Vegas residents an opportunity to obtain first-hand information on how the police department operates.
As part of the program, the department aims to familiarize citizens with the criminal justice system and provide a greater understanding of the tasks that police officers face each day.
The Hispanic Citizens Academy will run from March 24 through May 26.
Those interested must have an application approved before attending. For additional information or to apply, visit http://www.cityofnorthlasvegas.com/departments/police/citizens_academy_hispanic.php.
Salute to healthcare workers at The Amp
I am thrilled to announce another fun-filled virtual concert to salute our heroic healthcare workers, which will stream live from North Las Vegas' premiere entertainment venue, The Amp at Craig Ranch Regional Park.
The concert will feature the sounds of local Beach Boy's tribute band, "Good Vibrations.” Please note, this is an exclusive and limited attendance show, however people can watch the concert online on our official City of North Las Vegas Facebook page on Monday, March 15 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at https://www.facebook.com/CityofNorthLasVegas.
I am incredibly thankful and grateful to all of our healthcare workers who put their safety on the line during this pandemic to keep our community safe and moving forward.
