CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR OUTGOING CHAIRMAN

Join me in congratulating Chairman William Matchko on his promotion to Captain. He received his call from Sheriff McMahill promoting him effective 12/23/23 to lead SCAC. Everyone at SCAC is gaining an amazing individual as their leader. As Chairman, Lt. Matchko served our membership well. He served our membership with honor and integrity and has been a staunch advocate for all of us. It’s been an honor to serve alongside him, and I wish him nothing but the best as he promotes to Captain.

I began my career with LVMPD in August 2004. Upon graduation from the Corrections Academy, I was assigned to the Clark County Detention Center (CCDC) working throughout the North Tower, South Tower, and Central Booking Bureau.

I have served as a Field Training Officer and have instructed a variety of courses over the years in the LVMPD Corrections Academy. I was assigned to the Classification section and House Arrest in addition to working as a Detective in Internal Affairs. 

Following Internal Affairs, I returned to House Arrest, promoted to the rank of sergeant in September 2016, and later moved to CCDC’s North Valley Complex near Nellis AFB. In 2020, I navigated through the COVID crisis while supervising the ever-changing and always entertaining booking floor.

I was promoted to lieutenant in February 2021 and currently supervise the Classification and Special Investigations section of the Detention Services Division. In February 2024 I was honored to be selected to the PMSA Board of Directors and look forward to the opportunity of working with fellow board members to serve the supervisors on our great agency.

I joined the LVMPD in 2005, following the completion of my bachelor's degree from Ferris State University. I began my career working patrol in SCAC, which included Mary area at the time. Yes, one squad covered the entire Las Vegas Blvd. with calls for service. I worked on bikes and enduros for a while too and enjoyed the interaction with the community by being outside a patrol vehicle. I have a passion for investigations and have worked in PSU, Gangs, Construction Theft/Pawn Detail, Auto Theft/VIPER and SCAC PD.

In 2017, I was promoted to sergeant and worked patrol in NEAC, CCAC, SCAC and NWAC. I also supervised over NWAC FLEX, the Vice Section and Fusion Watch prior to being promoted to Lieutenant. In 2022, I was promoted to Lieutenant and worked as a full-time grave Watch Commander. I then transferred to BAC where I stayed supervising over the graveyard shift and then swing shift.  Over a year ago, I took on the role of Administrative Lieutenant at BAC, where I currently still am.

In May 2024, I was elected as a member of the PMSA Board of Directors. I am eager to collaborate with my fellow board members on enhancing the agency and serving our members effectively; striving to build a better future for us all.
