A first accident can be frightening—especially when you’re 16. After a newly licensed teen became disoriented while leaving a shopping center near Centennial Center Boulevard and was involved in a minor crash, Traffic Officer Matthew Muzdeka stopped to help. Officer Muzdeka didn’t lecture the young driver. He calmly reassured him, checked on his tearful sister in the passenger seat and helped both teens regain their composure so they could safely drive home. Their mother later wrote to LVMPD to express her gratitude. The teens couldn’t remember the officer’s name, but our team was able to identify him. For the compassion and professionalism he showed that evening, Officer Muzdeka received the October Good Ticket Award from the LVMPD Foundation and Resorts World Las Vegas—along with a staycation package. Congratulations, Officer Muzdeka, and thank you for demonstrating how kindness can make a lasting difference. #LVMPD# #GoodTicketAward# #CommunityPolicing# #LasVegas# #ResortsWorldLasVegas# #LVMPDFoundation#
