Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) is the primary law enforcement agency for Clark County, Nevada, including the Las Vegas Strip. Recently, the department has been in the news for two distinct incidents. In one, a 17-year-old female was arrested for allegedly stabbing three show horses at a rodeo, an act described by a horse owner as being committed by an "obsessed stalker." In a separate, historical context, the LVMPD continues to be associated with the ongoing investigation and public interest surrounding the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas. While these articles highlight specific events and historical cases, they underscore the LVMPD's role in maintaining public safety and addressing criminal activity within its jurisdiction, from local incidents to high-profile cold cases.
