LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Las Vegas is on track to hit 3 million people by 2050, with roughly 22,000 new residents arriving every single year. New neighborhoods, new schools, new businesses and a whole lot of new expectations for the people sworn in to keep the city safe.
Because of that growth, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is expanding its ranks. We went somewhere few cameras ever go — inside the Joint Emergency Training Unit — to show what it takes to earn the badge.
Metro's JETI is a 110,000-square-foot indoor mini-city built for chaos. It's where officers learn to make split-second decisions under pressure most of us will never experience.
We were put to the test, both physically and mentally, to better understand what Metro officers go through every single day.
