In Clark County, the sheriff oversees a workforce of some 5,000, who are there to keep the peace in a jurisdiction that includes the state’s largest airport, the state’s biggest economic engine and about half of the county’s 2.3 million residents.
The department is led by Sheriff Kevin McMahill, who took office in January 2023. As 2024 unwinds, the sheriff has some good news and some not-so good news.
Good news: homicides are way, way down. Not so good news? The department could be looking at financial headwinds it hasn’t quite faced before.
Guest: Kevin McMahill, sheriff, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department
