Undersheriff April Tardy, Captain Richard Ruiz, and Dept members gather for the 999 for Kids Ice Cream Social.

The law enforcement radio code 999 means “Officer needs emergency help,” but, in this case, it’s not about an officer in need. It’s a reference to children in need. “999 for Kids” was created to help physically challenged children, those with Intellectual disability, children who are medically vulnerable or are victims of the most severe cases of child abuse, neglect, and family violence.

The money raised goes toward children in LA County who are our most vulnerable and who have experienced severe child abuse, neglect, and family violence. The program, which is overseen by the Sheriffs’ Relief Foundation, organized through LASD’s Special Victims Bureau and supported through donations, helps families obtain specialized medical equipment and hold events like summer camps in which these children might not be able to participate otherwise.

Please pray for the Las Vegas Officer who was stabbed in the line of duty this morning. 🙏

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said an officer was stabbed after an incident early Friday morning in the northeast valley.

In a news briefing shortly after 6 a.m. Friday, Capt. Joshua Martinez said that the incident occurred at about 1 a.m. when police were responding to a domestic disturbance call in the 3600 block of E. Lake Mead Boulevard.

According to Martinez, while police were making contact with the suspect, the individual stabbed one of the officers with a “sharp-edged weapon,” leading to another police officer firing his gun and striking the suspect. The suspect was pronounced deceased at the scene, Martinez said.

Martinez advised that the officer who was stabbed was transported to UMC Trauma and is expected to be discharged “soon.”
No further information was immediately provided.
