LAS VEGAS — The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department highlighted several community and public-safety initiatives this week, including its role in ensuring security during the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix and multiple Thanksgiving outreach events across the valley.

According to the department, officers from various area commands assisted in securing the three-day F1 weekend, which drew hundreds of thousands of spectators to the Strip. LVMPD said the event concluded safely with no major incidents reported.

Ahead of Thanksgiving, officers from multiple area commands distributed turkeys to families across the valley. Bolden Area Command officers delivered meals to residents in their jurisdiction, while Downtown Area Command officers handed out turkeys and spent time engaging with families.
