An Honor to Serve the Fallen
The Honor Guard proudly serves the City of Las Vegas, the County of Clark and Law Enforcement Communities across the United States in performing military-style honors during funeral services of officers killed in the line of duty as well as for deaths of current or retired law enforcement officers. They also represent the LVMPD for line-of-duty deaths in other jurisdictions in the Southwestern United States. Duties performed include posting caskets, flag ceremonies, twenty-one gun salutes and the playing of taps. By the appropriate rendering of honors, the Guard endeavors to provide closure to the families of officers killed in the line of duty.
The Honor Guard traditionally appears at prestigious ceremonies in Washington D.C. and in Carson City, NV, for the state memorial where fallen officer’s names are etched on the monument walls. In order to send representatives to these events, the group conducts fundraisers and/or spends money out of their own pocket. Due to monetary restrictions, the Honor Guard is typically only able to send a portion of their all-volunteer membership with only ten officers being sent to the most recent event.
This year, however, the Honor Guard has endeavored to send their full contingent of 30 members to honor Officer Alyn Beck and Officer Igor Soldo in Carson City, NV and Washington D.C. when their names are added to the monuments. You can assist us in our goal by participating in our fundraising events, purchasing some of our fundraising merchandise, or by simply making a donation.

In Memory of
Officers Alyn Beck and Igor Soldo
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the Las Vegas community mourns the loss of our two Officers that were shot and killed in the line of duty Sunday, June 8, 2014, when they were ambushed while having lunch at a local pizza restaurant.
Killed in the attack were: Officer Alyn Beck (age 41) and Officer Igor Soldo (age 31). The attackers (a man and woman) then ran to a nearby Walmart store, where a brave citizen, Joseph Wilcox, who offered resistance was also shot and killed. Inside the store, the suspects were engaged by responding officers and shortly after the exchange of gun-fire began, both suspects were shot and killed by officers.
