One foolproof method for deciding who is the right person to elect as the next Clark County sheriff and leader of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is to scrutinize endorsements. And the perfect way to eliminate the wrong sheriff candidates is to ask: Who is the Las Vegas Police Protective Association (LVPPA) backing? The […]
Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie recently made national news as a “peacemaker,” who brokered a deal between the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and a recalcitrant Nevada rancher, Cliven Bundy.

As any experienced investigative reporter knows, the first tenet of uncovering corruption in public “officialdom” is “Follow the Money.” That dictum applies equally well to separating Clark County sheriff candidate(s), who have been bought and paid for by the Las Vegas “Cartel of Corruption,” from those who would break the Cartel’s hold on Southern Nevada […]
The upcoming election will decide who will wear Clark County’s sheriff badge for the next four years, overseeing a half-billion-dollar annual budget and more than 2,600 sworn police officers. Voters will decide whether the county and Las Vegas continue to be plagued by a sheriff beholden to city/county power brokers and big-money elites, or one […]

As stated in “The Permit,” cops are safer today than since the 1960s, but arrogant, selfish police unions and a lazy, complicit media’s reporters continue to justify and excuse killer-cops’ behavior by citing dangers to officers.
