Hidden Heroes 2023

At our Sixth Annual Hidden Heroes Black and White Gala, we honored the men and women of the LVMPD Events Planning Unit. Their role is critical in planning the security and safety for major events in southern Nevada, such as the VGK and Raiders games, music concerts and festivals, and the upcoming Formula 1 and Super Bowl. They sometimes plan over 200 major events in a week. Because of their commitment in keeping us safe, all we need to worry about is to have a good time. Not only are they keeping the people of Las Vegas safe, but they are also protecting the lives of people from around the world who come to our city to attend and enjoy these large events. We also awarded the Crystal Sanchez Award that evening, for representing outstanding bravery and compassion by a female officer.
