In this episode of The Middle Ground, Tom Letizia sits down with Karen Marben, Executive Director of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Foundation, to discuss one of the most ambitious law enforcement training initiatives in the country: the Reality-Based Training Center.
Karen shares how the Foundation raised over $25 million in private funds to create a cutting-edge facility where officers train for real-world scenarios—from active shooter situations to de-escalation, medical response, and disaster readiness. You'll hear how simulated environments like a gas station, school, and casino are helping Metro and other first responders prepare like never before.
She also talks about the importance of community support, the role of public-private partnerships, and how this innovative facility is reshaping the future of public safety—not just in Las Vegas, but across the nation.
