here is my .02 on LVMPD. I spent four years in vegas and had several friends join lvmpd. There is alot more to the city than meets the eye. it is not a real pleasant city. it has many very low income high crime areas, if you go off the strip in any direction more than a few blocks, you could wind up in pretty bad areas. I know that two gangs were also having turf wars on the strip itself. The dept is also VERY political and there is alot of backstabbing between officers. My recomendation...stay up here, besides who really wants to wear a vest in 120+ temps anyway. That is the main reason i came back to MN in the first place.
