End of Watch: Police Sergeant Paul DeWeert
October 8, 1967

Today, we honor the memory of Sergeant Paul DeWeert, a dedicated member of the Las Vegas Police Department who served our community for 20 years.

Known by his fellow officers as “Pappy,” Sergeant DeWeert joined the department in January 1948. He was respected for his leadership, experience, and commitment to public safety. Tragically, Sergeant DeWeert was shot and killed by a drunk ex-convict at a dark intersection in North Las Vegas. He was unarmed at the time of the encounter. He was 60 years old.

Sergeant DeWeert's sacrifice and service will never be forgotten.

End of Watch: Police Officer Milburn Beitel III
October 8, 2009

Today, we remember Officer Milburn “Milli” Wilbur Beitel III, who joined the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department on September 30, 2003, after proudly serving four years in the United States Marine Corps. Known to many as “Milli,” he was a devoted public servant who exemplified commitment to both his country and his community.

On the night of October 7, 2009, while responding to a call for service, Beitel swerved to avoid a citizen’s vehicle. His patrol car overturned, and he was ejected in the crash. Despite the efforts of first responders and medical staff, he passed away from his injuries on October 8, 2009. He was just 30 years old.

Officer Beitel’s service and sacrifice will never be forgotten. His legacy lives on in the hearts of those who served beside him and the community he protected.

1 October Sunrise Remembrance Ceremony

This morning, we paused to honor the lives taken from us during the tragic events of October 1, 2017. We also remembered the survivors, families, and first responders whose lives were forever changed that night. Officers, medical personnel, and everyday citizens ran toward the chaos, saving lives and embodying the spirit of what it means to be Vegas Strong.

In the face of unimaginable loss and trauma, our community showed resilience, courage, and compassion.

As we mark this solemn anniversary, we stand with all who continue to heal. We will never forget the lives lost, and we remain committed to protecting and serving this incredible community we call home.

End of Watch: Police Officer Charleston Hartfield
October 1, 2017

Today, we honor the life and heroism of Officer Charleston Vernon Hartfield.

Officer Hartfield joined the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department on January 18, 2006. He spent nearly a decade in Patrol before transferring to the Project Management and Video Bureau, where he played a key role in creating a memorial wall at the Southeast Area Command to honor fallen officers. He was also the author of a book sharing his experiences as a police officer.

In addition to his police service, Hartfield was a U.S. Army combat veteran with 16 years of military service. He served in Iraq in 2003, with the 82nd Airborne Division and, at the time of his passing, was a First Sergeant with the Nevada Army National Guard's 100th Quartermaster Company.

On October 1, 2017, while off duty at the Route 91 Harvest Festival with his wife, Hartfield acted selflessly to help others during the mass shooting. He was shot and killed while rescuing fellow concertgoers. He was 34 years old. His legacy lives on through his family, his fellow officers, and all those he inspired.

End of Watch: Police Officer Edward Contreras
September 28, 2021

Today, we honor the life and service of Officer Edward Contreras.

Officer Contreras joined the LVMPD on July 18, 2006, following his service in the U.S. Marine Corps, where he served in Somalia and Iraq. He began his law enforcement career as a patrol officer in the South Central and Convention Center Area Commands before joining the Traffic Bureau, where he worked alongside his brother, Michael.

For 15 years, Officer Contreras served our community with dedication, integrity, and strength. Off duty, he was a devoted husband and father who loved fishing, woodworking, and spending quality time with his family.

Officer Contreras passed away on September 28, 2021, due to complications from COVID-19. He was 50 years old and is survived by his wife, Stephanie, and his son, Aaron. He is deeply missed.
