True leadership is shown by example, and Officer Truong Thai lived it every day. In solemn remembrance, we honor Officer Thai of the LVMPD. End of Watch: Oct. 13, 2022.

Officer Thai joined LVMPD in 1999. He spent most of his career on patrol in the Northwest and Northeast Area Commands. He also served three years in the Financial Crimes Section and three years in Training Section, where he mentored and guided new officers. Outside of his service, Officer Thai cherished time with his family, enjoyed playing volleyball and loved spending time on the water, often sailing to Catalina Island.

While responding to a domestic disturbance call on Oct. 13, 2022, Officer Thai was shot and killed in the line of duty. Known for his strong work ethic, integrity and leadership by example, he made a lasting impact on his fellow officers and the community he served.

Officer Thai is survived by his daughter. His dedication to public service and the lives he touched throughout his career will never be forgotten.

A career built on service leaves a mark that lasts long after the final call. Today, we honor the life and service of Officer Marc Alan Kahre of the LVMPD. End of Watch: Oct. 11, 1988.

Officer Kahre began his career with LVMPD as a cadet on Oct. 2, 1973, and was commissioned as a police officer in 1975. He dedicated his career to serving and protecting the Las Vegas community.

On Oct. 11, 1988, Officer Kahre was on patrol when he spotted a vehicle driven by a suspect who had earlier fired several gunshots through his former girlfriend’s front door. The suspect abruptly stopped, exited the vehicle and opened fire on Officer Kahre as he rode his motorcycle. Officer Kahre was fatally wounded in the shooting.

Officer Kahre was 34 years old. His service and sacrifice will never be forgotten, and his legacy lives on in the community he served.

Now and always, we mourn and remember Officer Milburn Wilbur Beitel, III of the LVMPD. End of Watch: Oct. 8, 2009.

Officer Beitel joined LVMPD in September 2003 after proudly serving in the United States Marine Corps. Also known as “Milli,” he maintained a lifelong dedication to protecting both his country and community.

On Oct. 7, 2009, Officer Beitel and his partner were traveling through the intersection of Washington Avenue and Nellis Boulevard when the driver of another vehicle pulled into their path. The driver of the patrol car took evasive action, but the vehicle went out of control and crashed. Both officers were transported to the hospital in serious condition, where Officer Beitel succumbed to his injuries the following day. He was survived by his parents and younger brother.

Officer Beitel was 30 years old. He will forever be remembered for his disciplined character, loyalty and fierce commitment to service.

Today, we honor the legacy of Sergeant Paul DeWeert with the Las Vegas Police Department (LVMPD). End of Watch: Oct. 8, 1967.

Sergeant DeWeert was a WWII veteran and respected 20-year veteran of the LVMPD, affectionately known to his peers as "Pappy."

On Oct. 8, 1967, while taking enforcement action during an off-duty encounter, Sergeant DeWeert was tragically ambushed and fatally wounded by an intoxicated ex-convict in North Las Vegas. He had just five months remaining before his retirement and was survived by his wife and two sons.

Sergeant DeWeert was 60 years old. Throughout two decades of faithful policing, he stood as a pillar of strength, experience and reliability. We carry forward the memory of Sergeant DeWeert and his enduring dedication.

Joining in solemn remembrance, we honor and pay tribute to LVMPD Officer Charleston Vernon Hartfield. End of Watch: Oct. 1, 2017.

Officer Hartfield joined LVMPD in January 2006 and worked in the patrol division until 2015, when he transferred to the Project Management and Video Bureau. During his 11 years with the department, Officer Hartfield helped develop a memorial wall honoring fallen officers at Southeast Area Command and authored a book about his life as a police officer.

A decorated 16-year U.S. Army combat veteran, Officer Hartfield served with the 82nd Airborne Division in Iraq and as a First Sergeant in the Nevada Army National Guard’s 100th Quartermaster Company. Deeply committed to his community, he also mentored youth as a local football coach.

On Oct. 1, 2017, while off duty and attending the Route 91 Harvest Festival with his wife, a mass shooting unfolded. True to his calling, Officer Hartfield immediately took action to help rescue fellow citizens before he was fatally struck. He is survived by his wife and their two children.

Officer Hartfield was 34 years old. He embodied selflessness, fierce protection and natural leadership in every area of his life. The remarkable bravery and enduring spirit of Officer Hartfield will forever remain in our hearts.

A commitment to the Las Vegas community leaves a legacy that spans generations. Today, we honor the memory and sacrifice of Night Watchman Joe Mulholland of the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. End of Watch: Oct. 1, 1905.

On Oct. 1, 1905, Watchman Mulholland arrested a man and took him into custody earlier that evening, but chose to release him from the cold, damp city jail. The man went home, obtained a gun and ambushed Watchman Mulholland at a local saloon with open fire. He succumbed to his wounds just two hours later, marking a heartbreaking milestone as one of the first fallen officers in Southern Nevada’s law enforcement community.

Watchman Mulholland’s courage and commitment to justice at the dawn of our city's history will never be forgotten. His extraordinary courage, profound compassion and unwavering devotion to duty continues to echo through the ages.

The impact of a fallen officer echoes in the peace of the community they left behind. Today and every day, we honor the life and legacy of LVMPD Officer Edward Contreras. End of Watch: Sept. 28, 2021.

Officer Contreras began his law enforcement career after proudly serving in the U.S. Marine Corps as a combat veteran in Somalia and Iraq. During his early years with LVMPD, he worked as a patrol officer at South Central Area Command and Convention Center Area Command before transferring to the Traffic Bureau. He spent the remainder of his 15-year law enforcement career in the Traffic Bureau, where his brother Michael was also assigned.

On Sept. 28, 2021, Officer Contreras died from complications of COVID-19, which he contracted in the line of duty. He is survived by his wife and son.

Officer Contreras was 50 years old. In addition to devoting his life to protecting Americans at home and abroad, he enjoyed fishing, woodworking and spending time with his family. We carry his memory always and remain deeply grateful for his service, protection and sacrifice.

Valor in service lives on through the lives protected. Today we honor and pay tribute to LVMPD Deputy Sheriff John T. Allen. End of Watch: Sept. 18, 1928.

In the summer of 1928, Deputy Allen traveled from his home in Logandale, Nevada to Las Vegas to report that two men had stolen 14 horses from his ranch. Because of the remote location of the ranch, the district attorney deputized Allen so he could serve the warrants and apprehend the suspects.

Deputy Allen arrested one of the two suspects and brought him to Las Vegas for booking, but the suspect was later released and traveled to his home in Arizona. On Sept. 18, 1928, the suspect severely beat Deputy Allen and shot him to death while he attempted to serve the warrant. The suspect, who claimed that Deputy Allen fired at him first, was tried and acquitted.

Deputy Allen was 61 years old. He leaves behind a legacy defined by courage and an extraordinary dedication to service and justice.
