HIDDEN HEROES
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Foundation Presents:
The Ninth Annual Hidden Heroes Black & White Gala
Honoring LVMPD Public Information Office
and Awarding Brett Torino & Joe Murphy
Fontainebleau Las Vegas
Saturday, April 18, 2026 starting at 5:00 pm
Celebrating the Heroes Behind the Badge
The Hidden Heroes Black & White Gala celebrates and recognizes unsung heroes at LVMPD who work to keep us safe every day and are committed to our community.
Inspiration for the Hidden Heroes Black & White Gala comes from Nami Oneda and The Gratitude Project, and stems from the heroic acts of 1 October and the crucial role played by the investigative unit that reviewed the harrowing bodycam footage for the Criminal Investigative Report on the mass shooting. Since 2018, the Foundation has been honoring department sections and units that play integral roles in law enforcement but are not traditionally in the spotlight. The Gala’s “Black & White” theme is a nod to the color scheme of Metro’s squad cars.
Proceeds from the Gala support the Foundation’s mission to provide Metro with the strongest platforms for public safety, including training, equipment and technology, and community engagement events.
