LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Las Vegas Metro Police will soon have the only fleet of Tesla Cybertrucks in the county, Sheriff Kevin McMahill revealed Tuesday.
During the State of the Department address, LVMPD Sheriff Kevin McMahill announced the purchase of a fleet of 10 Tesla Cybertrucks. The fleet will also include a specially fitted SWAT vehicle.
“And they didn’t come out of our budget again, they came out of a very generation donation from an individual,” Sheriff McMahill shared.
He also added that the vehicles were purchased after a Cybertruck exploded outside of Trump International Hotel on Jan. 1 in a planned attack. Only one person died in the explosion, the suspect Matthew Livelsberger.
“The cop inside will be safe no matter what, it will stop bullets,” Sheriff McMahill said.
He added, “This is also a tremendous recruitment tool.”
This will be the largest fleet of Tesla police trucks that exists in the country.
“Imagine when we’re out and we’re charging these things, and officers will be approached by people from all over the community to see this thing,” Sheriff McMahill said. “It’s an opportunity [to] inject humanity, to increase our community partnerships.”
