Las Vegas police have implemented almost all their self-identified upgrades stemming from a review of officers' responses to the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history more than two years ago, the elected head of the department said Monday.
Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said in a statement the agency has enacted 84 of 93 recommendations outlined in a departmental self-critique he made public last July.
The nine items that weren't completed weren't identified. Officer Alejandra Zambrano, a department spokeswoman, said she could not immediately say what they are. The department “has also filled gaps in training that were found as part of the 18-month internal review and addressed issues with radio communication, among other changes,” the statement said.
A gunman fired more than 1,000 rounds with assault-style rifles out the windows of the Mandalay Bay resort before killing himself. Police found him dead more than an hour later, after officers blasted through the doors of his 32nd-floor suite.
