The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is the municipal law enforcement agency policing the City of Las Vegas and the unincorporated areas of Clark County, Nevada. It was formed on July 1, 1973 through the merger of the Clark County Sheriff's Department and the Las Vegas City Police. The department covers about 8,000 square miles and employs a substantial workforce to carry out patrol, investigations, and public safety operations from its Las Vegas base. In April 2026, LVMPD announced the integration of immersive virtual reality training from Wrap Technologies to enhance decision making, situational awareness, and de-escalation in its development programs. This development illustrates the department's use of partner-driven training tools to support its operations and community safety goals.
