August 13, 2026

LAS VEGAS, NV – Today, the Nevada Association of Public Safety Officers (NAPSO) proudly endorsed Governor Joe Lombardo for re-election.

“I’m proud to earn the endorsement of NAPSO and grateful for their continued partnership in keeping our communities safe," said Governor Lombardo. "NAPSO does important work to ensure law enforcement professionals across Nevada have the strong statewide representation they deserve and a voice on the issues that impact them and their mission. As Governor, I’ll continue standing with the men and women who wear the badge, giving them the tools and support they need to do their jobs, and working together to make Nevada a safer place for our communities and families."

Governor Lombardo, a law enforcement veteran of more than 30 years and former Clark County Sheriff, has made public safety a cornerstone of his administration. In addition to delivering a double-digit pay increase for Nevada law enforcement, Governor Lombardo introduced and signed his Crime Reduction Act (SB412) in 2023 and Nevada Safe Streets and Neighborhoods Act (AB4) in 2025, which delivered the most comprehensive public safety reforms in decades by protecting victims, cracking down on violent criminals, drug dealers, and DUI offenders, and reversing soft-on-crime policies. Under Governor Lombardo’s leadership, violent crime is down 16%, property crime is down 16%, and domestic crime and crime against the elderly are down 7% statewide. In Las Vegas, homicides dropped 22%, aggravated assaults dropped 5.4%, robberies dropped 16.2%, property crime dropped 9.4%, burglaries dropped 15%, and motor vehicle thefts dropped 14% in 2025.
