Undersheriff Jim Dixon began his
presentation to our members with some oh his memories that led him
to become a Metro police officer, and today the |
|
second in command as our Undersheriff.
In the 1980’s, he was in the military
and then, at age 22, he began his civilian life as a security
officer for the |
|
Fremont Hotel. He used to go fishing in Utah
with a gentleman from Utah, a big man and a police officer named
Carl Armstrong. Carl helped Jim get a |
|
job in 1984 as a correction officer at our
local jail. In 1985 he attended the police academy and the rest is
history. Undersheriff Dixon has been a member |
|
of LVMPD for the past 28 years. He believes in
respecting the law and in treating people with respect. He served as
a police officer, SWAT and Sergeant |
|
on the Las Vegas Strip and has been a team
leader for 15 years. In 2005, he became a Lieutenant. Undersheriff
Dixon then spent 30 minutes answering |
|
questions from the audience. He displayed a
wide knowledge of the many facets of LVMPD business. He spent
time to explain the budget as it is now
|
|
during those difficult economic times. Judging
by his enthusiasm, it was clear to all members present that he
totally enjoys his job as COO to the Sheriff. |
|
Undersheriff Dixon is a great human being. His
knowledge of the department inspires confidence to all his staff
that Metro will succeed in its undertakings |
|
with him and the Sheriff leading the way.
Another great evening at the LVCPAAA.
