On October 1, 2017, tragically and unexpectedly, Las Vegas, Nevada, became the stage for the worst mass shooting in modern history to date. That night, more than 22,000 people came together to enjoy a country music festival. On the third and final night of the festival, a lone gunman opened fire into the crowd from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. The gunfire continued for over 10 minutes, resulting in the deaths of 58 innocent concertgoers and the documented injuries of over 850 survivors. With law enforcement closing in, the shooter took his own life.
In the days and months since this horrific crime took place, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) has worked tirelessly to author the after-action review detailing our response to what has become known as “1 October.” This report is a critical, administrative review that details our overall response: preparedness, communication, tactical response, command and control, medical response and resources, crime scene preservation and evidence collection, media response and coverage, training and equipment, and the care of first responders in the aftermath. In addition, this report gives multiple recommendations from lessons learned.*
The Las Vegas Metro Police Department will provide in-depth details on their critical analysis of the tragic event and the response of law enforcement.

Simple “Common Sense” Techniques
People have been using edged weapons since the beginning of time. They are still around in one form or another. Ever since the terrible events of 9/11, where the hijackers used box cutters, there has been an increased awareness of edged weapons. As recently as 2017, a high-profile terrorist attack occurred at Flint Bishop Airport. The suspect used a 12” knife to severely injure a police officer.
This program addresses the psychological stress of an edged weapon confrontation and how to defend against it using the OODA Loop principle. Students will participate in scenario-based practical exercises. Most people have no idea how to defend against an attack with a sharp object. Most what you see on TV is just enough to get people hurt.
This training addresses two sides of the edged weapons story. First it deals with defending against an attack. The second part explains how to use an edged weapon, if necessary.
Instructor: Lee Shaykhet – is a provider of specialized methods of self-defense. Lee has experience training the former Soviet Army and has provided instruction for law enforcement and military organizations in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida and Minnesota, and in Canada.
