REAL-TIME RESULTS! On May 12, a homeowner was out of town when their security cameras alerted them that someone was trying to get inside their Las Vegas home near Desert Inn and Arville. They called Metro. An LVMPD drone launched from a SkyPort and was overhead in seconds, locating the suspect outside the residence. Working together, the drone pilot and dispatcher quickly guided responding officers to the location, leading to an arrest. When every second counts, eyes in the sky can make all the difference. We have flown more than 12,000 drone flights so far in 2026. Today, our drones are arriving on scene before officers more than 70% of the time. That means faster response, better situational awareness, better information for our officers, and ultimately safer outcomes for our community.

🚨 DRONE PROVIDES EYES OVERHEAD DURING VEHICLE VANDALISM CALL At approximately 9:40 a.m. on June 17, LVMPD Communications received a report of a man damaging a vehicle outside a store near Tropicana Avenue and Nellis Boulevard. A remote drone launched from a nearby LVMPD Skyport and quickly arrived overhead, where it captured the suspect striking the vehicle’s windows with a bicycle seat and a brick. The drone pilot provided real-time updates to responding officers, giving them critical information before they reached the scene. While officers were heading to the call, Good Samaritans had intervened and subdued the suspect. David Huerta Salgado, 39, was arrested and booked on multiple felony, gross misdemeanor and misdemeanor charges, including destroying or injuring property valued at $5,000 or more, injuring or tampering with a vehicle, resisting a public officer and possession of drug paraphernalia. This is another example of how LVMPD’s remote drone program provides officers with immediate situational awareness while helping us respond more safely and effectively. Event: LLV260600062399

🚨 AIR SUPPORT TRACKS RECKLESS DRIVER 🚁 NEW VIDEO: On May 21 around 7:45 p.m., officers were alerted to a reckless driver endangering the public in the north part of the Las Vegas valley. Within seconds, AIR5 located the pickup and began tracking from above. The suspect ran red lights, ignored stop signs, and sped through busy streets, nearly causing multiple crashes. With just minutes of fuel left, AIR5 was able to guide ground units, set up a perimeter and handed off to AIR2, which continued the search. A short time later, LVMPD K9 officers located the 20-year-old suspect hiding in a backyard near Alexander and Rancho. This type of dangerous behavior is exactly what Sheriff Kevin McMahill is working to stop—to protect lives across our community. The suspect faces multiple charges, including: 🔹 Duty to stop at the scene of an accident (felony) 🔹 Reckless driving 🔹 Obstructing a public officer #LVMPD #AirSupport Event: LLV250500079045
