HISTORY
January
1st, 2003, the Nevada Coalition of Police Organizations, Active
and Retired Law Enforcement Officers was founded. The intent of
this Coalition is to bring together all police organizations/clubs
here in the Las Vegas valley to focus on common issues and concerns.
Each organization/club was contacted and was asked to identify
two
representatives to represent their respective organization/club.
The Coalition meets once a month.
The
Coalition Administrator was identified and voted on by the participating
member organizations. This individual will be responsible to chair
the monthly meetings, prepare the agenda maintain an up to date
contact list of participating individuals and be the only spokesperson
for the Coalition.
A Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU) was drafted to outline the goals and responsibilities
of each participating organization/club. Each representative will
sign this MOU.
A number
of issues were placed on the table for discussion at the first meeting
of the Coalition. The following details some key issues to be addressed:
- The
formation of an all Volunteer Homeland Reserve Unit which
would
assist the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, North
Las Vegas Police Department, Boulder City Police Department and
the Henderson Police Department in
a time of crisis. The types of situations this unit would be
called upon to assist could include terrorist activity,
child
kidnappings
or missing children, and major power outage in the city, floods
or other major disasters. The Unit will be made of volunteers
with prior police experience and would be organized into a professional
team with leadership, dedication and organization.
- Consider
pursuing the issuance of a special license plate in Nevada for
Retired Law Enforcement Officers. Survey will be conducted among
the membership of the Coalition organizations/clubs to see what
the interest is before proceeding.
- Develop
plans for a Coalition picnic to be held in the fall of each
year.
Bonding with other Law Enforcement Officers at this type
of an event is the key to the success of the Coalition.
- Establish
a Computer Training program to assist all those organization/club
members who are not familiar with the use of a computer.
