Clark County Law Enforcement Advisory Team announces members

The Clark County Law Enforcement Advisory Team has announced its 12 members, which include residents from across the community, to serve as part of its 2020-21 membership roster.

The Clark County Law Enforcement Advisory Team (CCLEAT) was established in July 2020 to work with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office to give minorities and all community members, “a stronger voice in law enforcement standards in our community and ensure that Clark County is a community where all residents have safe and equal protection under the law,” according to the county.

“As Sheriff, I strongly support community policing and partnering with others," Clark County Sheriff Deborah Burchett said. “In 2017, the Sheriff’s Office began inviting community stakeholders to review and provide input about our policy, procedure and forms. The CCLEAT is an additional part of our current community policing efforts. They can provide regular feedback on community perceptions, identify needed improvements, help to strengthen community trust and encourage communication among everyone in Clark County.”
