The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) today commemorated the life and service of Corrections Officer Victor Hunter, who died on this date thirteen years ago in 2011. According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's Facebook page, Hunter was notable not just for his dedication but also for the unique start to his law enforcement career, having joined the force together with his son Christopher, marking LVMPD's first father-son pair to complete the academy in the same class.
Victor Hunter leaped law enforcement at the age of 46, after a career as a Vons manager which shows a remarkable pivot in vocational trajectory. Although his career in corrections was relatively short, spanning four years, its impact is described as enduring.
Officer Hunter’s life was tragically cut short by an unexpected medical episode at the Clark County Detention Center. Today, thirteen years after Officer Hunter’s passing, we remember his dedication and service. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department statement concludes with a simple yet heartfelt tribute: "Rest in peace, Officer Hunter."
