The report, covering 2020 through 2024, reveals that officers responded to nearly 1.4 million events in 2024 alone. Of those incidents, only 922 involved reportable use of force, and just 17 resulted in officer-involved shootings.
Vehicle pursuits also reached a five-year low with only 51 recorded in 2024.
LVMPD credits these improvements to their continued focus on deescalation techniques, communication strategies and strong supervision within the department.
The department says the goal is to preserve life, improve accountability and build public trust.
