State-of-the-art resources will help keep Southern Nevadans safe

April 1, 2010

Las Vegas, NV – Nevada Senator Harry Reid today was joined by Congresswoman Dina Titus and leaders from Henderson and Boulder City for the groundbreaking of the Eldorado Valley Regional Public Safety Training Facility.  Reid secured $1.5 million for the facility that when completed will allow police departments from both cities to share state-of-the-art resources at the 250-acre site.  In addition to providing a secure location for firearms and other training, the facility will eventually include a major emergency vehicle operations course and tactical SWAT training.

“Residents of Southern Nevada will be safer as a result of this partnership between Henderson and Boulder City,” Reid said.  “I commend Mayors Hafen and Tobler for their vision and teamwork to continue a tradition of having the best-trained law enforcement forces in the country.  As a former police officer, I know the sacrifice these good men and women make every day and how important it is to give them the resources they need to keep us safe.”
