LAS VEGAS — The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s most recent delivery is a police cruiser co-branded with the Vegas Golden Knights, a professional ice hockey team whose home games are played at the T-Mobile Arena on the Vegas strip.
Fox 5 reported that the agency partnered with the Golden Knights “in a recruiting effort like no other.” Community members will get to see the new vehicle at recruiting events after it was revealed over the weekend.
According to law enforcement, the vehicle, which features the colors black, gold and white, “helps show the community our hometown hockey team supports our local police department. This partnership is vital as LVMPD works to recruit diverse, qualified candidates for the position of police and corrections officer,” the agency said in a press release.
The unveiling was posted to social media and the vehicle features the words, “Vegas Strong” on the hood and “Vegas Born” on the side.
