Disciplinary Actions Overview – Las Vegas Police Department

Written by CBKN76

Over the past five years, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) has faced over 250 complaints of excessive force. However, only a small percentage resulted in disciplinary action. Common violations include excessive use of force, improper handling of individuals with mental health issues, and sexual misconduct. Typical punishments range from suspension to termination, though criminal charges are less common. Use-of-force incidents have led to several fatalities and subsequent lawsuits, highlighting concerns about training and accountability. Department-wide issues have also included cases of evidence fabrication and other forms of misconduct, leading to public scrutiny and calls for reform.
