For New Year's Eve in Las Vegas, about 190 Nevada National Guard soldiers will help local police with crowd control and triage support. This continues more than 25 years of cooperation between the Guard and local authorities, according to News 3 LV.
Military personnel will be visible at major intersections in Las Vegas during the celebrations on Wednesday and Thursday, as reported by Fox 5 Vegas. Officials from the Nevada Division of Emergency Management said there is no specific threat to any event or location in southern Nevada. The Nevada National Guard will work alongside Las Vegas Metropolitan Police during the festivities, continuing their ongoing partnership.
The National Guard is deployed in Las Vegas during New Year’s celebrations to support safety efforts. Clark County Emergency Management works with the Guard, local, and federal law enforcement to coordinate security as visitors gather in the city. The agencies aim to provide a safe environment for the event.
