 | The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) experienced a tragic loss on June 8, 2014, when two officers were ambushed and killed by two assailants. This report, sponsored by the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office), summarizes key findings from an after-action analysis of the ambush and subsequent police engagement with the assailants. The assessment team analyzed the event precursors, response, and aftermath to document lessons learned. These findings can be used by the larger law enforcement community to conduct self-evaluation and better prepare for similar incidents. This after-action report builds upon other analysis on violence against police, including the 2015 COPS Office publication Ambushes of Police: Environment, Incident Dynamics, and the Aftermath of Surprise Attacks Against Law Enforcement.By Zoe Thorkildsen, Ashley Shultz, Thomas Woodmansee, Drew TracyCategories: Homeland Security • Police Operations • Violent CrimeLanguage: EnglishPublic link
