According to the tweet, the police car is now co-branded with the Vegas Golden Knights and residents of Las Vegas can expect to see the vehicle at various recruiting events throughout the city. The cruiser is decorated with the gold and black colors of the Vegas Golden Knights and proudly shows the “Vegas Born” logo across the doors. The “Vegas Strong” quote and a LVMPD police badge over a silhouette of Nevada adorns the hood. And a quote by VGK owner Bill Foley, “Protect the Unprotected” is shown on the side of the cruiser.
Fox5Vegas reported, “Las Vegas police say that the VGK-themed car ‘helps show the community our hometown hockey team supports our local police department. This partnership is vital as LVMPD works to recruit diverse, qualified candidates for the position of police and corrections officer,’ the department said in a news release.”
Earlier in the day, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department also tweeted a video of the car’s unveiling, with onlookers cheering and clapping along.
