what happened yesterday in Atlanta was brutal, tragic & is certainly not an isolated incident by any means. AAPI hate has been rampantly perpetuated & it’s disgusting! I’m heartbroken for the Asian community & my heart is with the loved ones of those we lost. The hate must stop.

AUGUST GOOD TICKET AWARD! 🎊 This month’s Good Ticket honors Officer Grant Okinaka of the LVMPD Office of Community Engagement for his outstanding dedication to our community and local youth. Okinaka was the driving force behind last month’s “Pack the Mack” event, where 15,000 backpacks were distributed to local schoolchildren ahead of the new school year. His hard work and commitment helped make this event a tremendous success and provided thousands of students with supplies they need to start the school year. Okinaka is also a key member of the Asian American Pacific Islander Alliance (AAPIA), which works to strengthen relationships between the community and LVMPD. Through his continued efforts, he helps foster meaningful connections and builds trust between our department and the diverse communities we serve. @ResortsWorldLV, in partnership with the @LVMPDFoundation, has provided Okinaka with a staycation package, including a resort stay, food and beverage credit, and tickets to a headlining show.
