LAS VEGAS ( FOX5 ) — The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s Air Unit was featured at its First Tuesday event at the Northeast Area Command Tuesday night, giving residents a chance to meet officers who patrol Clark County from the sky.

Metro’s helicopters operate seven days a week across Clark County, from Laughlin to Mesquite. The aircraft serve as one of the department’s primary crime fighting tools.

“When you are up there and you are catching bad guys everyday... everyday you’re like, ‘Yeah, I am doing something to help,” said Anthony Propp with LVMPD’s Air Unit.

Propp, who has been with the unit for 11 years, said he always wanted to work in aviation law enforcement.
