This past Friday, the Las Vegas Police Department observed a mock evacuation drill at Union Elementary School. These drills are a standard safety measure designed to protect both students and staff in the event of an emergency.
The purpose of such exercises is to evaluate current procedures and determine if any adjustments are needed to improve safety protocols. They provide an opportunity for all involved agencies to assess their roles and responsibilities and identify areas for improvement to enhance coordination and response.
Las Vegas Dispatch played an active role in the drill, with support from the Las Vegas Fire Department. Following the exercise, Police Chief Caleb Marquez and Fire Chief Steven Spann held a quick debrief to discuss potential improvements and collaboration strategies.
The Police and Fire Departments have a strong working relationship and are committed to continuing to strengthen that partnership to ensure the highest level of safety and preparedness for our schools and community.
This is part of a broader initiative, and similar drills and safety evaluations will continue across schools throughout the city over the coming days and weeks. Our public safety teams remain dedicated to improving emergency response processes and ensuring the safety of all educators and students.
