Police Brutality in Nevada
Statistically, Nevada ranks among the top states in the nation for the number of police brutality complaints. Officers often get away with using excessive force, even when it results in serious injury or death.
Las Vegas Police Brutality
In Las Vegas there are approximately 1,500 cases of alleged police brutality every year . This number is especially staggering when you consider that Las Vegas only has a population of around 600,000 people.
Many of these incidents occur in the tourist district, where officers are quick to resort to force in order to maintain control. Tourists often don’t know their rights and are afraid to speak up, making them easy targets for abuse.
What to do if you are the victim of police brutality
If you are the victim of police brutality, there are a few steps you can take to protect yourself:
- Remain calm and polite. Don't resist arrest or argue with the officer. This will only make things worse.
- Make sure you get the officers' name and badge number.
- File a complaint with the appropriate agency.
- Take note of any witnesses, camera locations, and other elements to corroborate the incident including police dash cams, street surveillance or building that may have video surveillance.
- Write it all down on what occurred while it is still fresh.
- Contact our Civil Rights attorneys.
