This article will tell the story of two of the LVMPD's most successful units: the Narcotics Enforcement Section and the Financial Crimes Unit. We will take a behind-the-scenes look at these units and the work that they do. We will also hear from the officers who have been involved in some of the LVMPD's most high-profile cases.

The Narcotics Enforcement Section

The LVMPD's Narcotics Enforcement Section (NES) is responsible for investigating and prosecuting drug trafficking offenses. The NES is a highly specialized unit, and its officers receive extensive training in drug identification, surveillance, and undercover operations.

In recent years, the NES has conducted a number of high-profile drug busts. In 2015, the NES seized over $1 million worth of cocaine and heroin from a drug trafficking ring operating in Las Vegas. In 2016, the NES arrested several members of a drug trafficking organization that was responsible for distributing large quantities of methamphetamine in the Las Vegas area.

The NES is also responsible for investigating drug overdoses. In 2017, the NES investigated over 100 drug overdoses in Las Vegas. The majority of these overdoses were caused by fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid that is much more potent than heroin.

The Financial Crimes Unit

The LVMPD's Financial Crimes Unit (FCU) is responsible for investigating financial crimes, such as fraud, money laundering, and embezzlement. The FCU is a highly specialized unit, and its officers receive extensive training in financial investigations.

In recent years, the FCU has investigated a number of high-profile financial crimes. In 2015, the FCU investigated a Ponzi scheme that defrauded investors of over $100 million. In 2016, the FCU arrested several individuals who were involved in a money laundering scheme that involved the use of shell companies and offshore accounts.

The FCU also investigates cybercrimes, such as hacking and identity theft. In 2017, the FCU investigated a series of cyberattacks that targeted businesses in Las Vegas. The attacks resulted in the theft of sensitive data and financial information.

The LVMPD's Narcotics Enforcement Section and Financial Crimes Unit are two of the most successful units in the department. These units have a long history of investigating and prosecuting some of the most high-profile crimes in Las Vegas. The officers who work in these units are highly skilled and dedicated to protecting the citizens of Las Vegas.
