  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 21, 2016
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 21, 2016 KNPB and Vegas PBS Cancel Production of Ralston Live (Las Vegas) – The PBS stations in Reno and Las Vegas have ended their co-production of a nightly interview program hosted by Jon Ralston, effective June 21, 2016. KNPB President Kurt Mische and Vegas PBS General Manager Tom Axtell issued a joint statement: “Jon Ralston is one of Nevada’s most knowledgeable and informed political commentators. In February 2015, we invited Jon to create this program as a platform for advocates and policy makers to discuss the complex issues facing our state. Since that time, the show has proven to be informative and substantive, though also sometimes provocative and controversial. “Ralston Live” has required a considerable financial investment from both stations and no longer has sufficient funds to continue production.” Jon Ralston said, "I have enjoyed doing "Ralston Live" with an incredible team. We are proud of what we have accomplished. I have been working on an exciting, new opportunity to enhance the use of new technology in delivering news and commentary." Beginning Tuesday, June 21, Vegas PBS will replace “Ralston Live” with “BBC World News” at 7:00 p.m. and “Tavis Smiley” at midnight. KNPB will replace the program with “Tavis Smiley” at 5:30 p.m. and midnight. About Vegas PBS Dedicated to enriching lives in Southern Nevada, Vegas PBS uses television and other technologies to educate and empower individuals and to amplify the effectiveness of community organizations. Vegas PBS Channel 10 is one of America’s most-watched PBS stations and offers five unique secondary channels: Create, Vme, Worldview, Rewind and Jackpot!

  • Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Met Its Share of Challenges in 2014
    LAS VEGASLas Vegas METROPOLITAN Metropolitan POLICE Police DepartmentDEPARTMENT || 11 2 || 20142012 ANNUAL ANNUAL REPORT REPORT - Douglas- Dedicated C. Gillespie: to our Overcoming Community Adversity Message from the Sheriff The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department met its share of challenges in 2014. With the opportunity to lead this organization as its 7th Sheriff, I am proud that we have withstood and overcome so much. Last year, LVMPD weathered budget cutbacks. The ratio of officers to citizens dropped to record lows. And, a heated battle between rancher Cliven Bundy and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management placed us in the middle of an intense standoff that endangered officers’ lives. The largest tragedy last year and arguably in the history of this agency was the brutal slaying of officers Alyn Beck and Igor Soldo. The tragedy of that moment reminded the community of the real dangers officers face and reminded us that most of our community supports us. We also underwent several key changes organizationally. The body-worn camera pilot program was launched and the new radio system came online last year, making us more technologically advanced than ever before. All of these changes come at a time when more criminals are willing to confront police and where there’s a national conversation about police use of force. Looking ahead, my number one priority is to secure the level of funding needed to put more officers on the streets and ensure Patrol has the backup it needs. The largest change on the horizon is our move toward decentralization, which will allow officers to be area- focused and share information in real time.
