Ninth Annual Hidden Heroes Black & White Gala
The Hidden Heroes Gala celebrates and recognizes Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department personnel who work to keep us safe every day. Proceeds from the gala support the LVMPD Foundation’s mission to provide Metro with the strongest platforms for public safety, including training, equipment and technology, and community engagement events.
Inspiration for the Hidden Heroes Black & White Gala comes from Nami Oneda and The Gratitude Project, and stems from the heroic acts of 1 October and the crucial role played by the investigative unit that reviewed the harrowing bodycam footage for the Criminal Investigative Report on the mass shooting. Since 2018, the LVMPD Foundation has been honoring department sections and units that play integral roles in law enforcement but are not traditionally in the spotlight.
