Join the Las Vegas community for the Southern Nevada Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony 2026. This annual evening of remembrance is a time to honor and pay tribute to the local law enforcement officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty since 1905.
The ceremony will feature distinguished guests including Mayor Shelley Berkley, Undersheriff Andrew Walsh, and Ward 4 Councilwoman Francis Allen-Palenske. It is a powerful opportunity for neighbors, families, and fellow officers to stand together in reflection and gratitude for those who served unconditionally.
What to Expect During the Evening
The Southern Nevada Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony 2026 is held at Police Memorial Park, a site specifically dedicated to our heroes. As the desert sun begins to set, the ceremony typically includes a roll call of fallen officers, a ceremonial wreath-laying, and remarks from local leaders. The event often concludes with a candlelighting, creating a peaceful and respectful atmosphere across the park grounds.
Planning Your Visit
We recommend arriving by 6:30 PM to ensure you have time to find parking and a place to stand or sit before the 7:00 PM start. Since the event takes place outdoors in late May, the weather is usually warm at the start and cools down quickly after sunset. Bringing a light jacket and a small blanket for seating is a smart way to stay comfortable during the hour-long program.
About Police Memorial Park
Located in the Northwest part of the valley, Police Memorial Park serves as a permanent tribute to Southern Nevada’s law enforcement community. The park features a Memorial Wall and dedicated tree groves that honor the names of those we have lost. For many residents in the surrounding Summerlin and Centennial Hills areas, this park is a vital community hub for both recreation and reflection.
