Las Vegas, July 21, 2022 – The LVMPD Citizens’ Police Academy graduated its first class of 2022 on Thursday evening.

One of those students was Antonio Accornero, who, as a longtime supporter of the LVMPD, was humbled by the experience. “I’ve always appreciated what police officers do to protect us and our families, but going through this program has given me a deeper respect for the sacrifices they make every day,” said Accornero. “I’m happy to now have a much closer connection to the Police Department.”
