During National Police Week Memorial events in Washington, D.C. last week, an Honor Guard competition was held alongside a bagpipe band competition.
The Las Vegas Emerald Society Pipes & Drums, serving as the official pipe band for the LVMPD Honor Guard, proudly represented Southern Nevada on the national stage. The band includes LVMPD officers, members from other Nevada law enforcement agencies, and civilian musicians, many of whom are U.S. military veterans.
After three months of dedicated training, the Emerald Society Pipe Band earned 4th overall, placing 3rd in piping and 2nd in dress.
We are proud of their commitment, professionalism, and representation of LVMPD during National Police Week!
