⭐ Officer Commendation – Officer Lease ⭐

We would also like to recognize Officer Lease for his outstanding actions during a November 2024 shots-fired investigation. While working alone that night, Officer Lease quickly recognized suspicious activity, pursued three armed suspects, and successfully apprehended one. His actions, along with the assistance of neighboring agencies, led to the recovery of multiple fi****ms and ultimately helped bring a dangerous case to justice.

In June 2026, the suspect was found guilty of four counts of Assault in the First Degree and one count of Drive-by Shooting. Officer Lease’s vigilance, courage, and dedication to protecting our community exemplify the highest standards of law enforcement.

Outstanding work, Officer Lease! We are proud to have you serving the Fircrest community.

The Fircrest Police Department extends our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and fellow officers of LVMPD Officer Austin Abdelnabi. Our thoughts are with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the entire Las Vegas community during this difficult time.

Please keep Officer Abdelnab, his loved ones, and his colleagues in your thoughts.

It is with profound sadness that we honor the life and sacrifice of LVMPD Officer Austin Abdelnabi.

Officer Abdelnabi was a 30-year-old Marine Corps veteran who dedicated his life to serving both his country and his community. After joining the LVMPD in November 2023, he was assigned to the Southeast Area Command, where his infectious laugh, larger-than-life personality, and genuine compassion left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. Above all, he cherished his wife, Sage, with whom he shared eight years of marriage.

On August 4, 2026, Officer Abdelnabi was tragically killed in the line of duty while responding to a call involving a person with a gun.

We ask our community to keep Officer Abdelnabi's family, friends, and our entire LVMPD family in your thoughts during this incredibly difficult time. Officer Austin Abdelnabi's courage, selfless service, and ultimate sacrifice will never be forgotten.

We will honor his legacy.

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Levy Renewal 2026

Since 1996, Fircrest voters have approved an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Levy to provide dedicated funding for emergency medical care and services delivered by the Tacoma Fire Department. The current six-year levy expires on December 31, 2026.

The August 2026 Primary Election ballot measure asks voters whether to renew the existing EMS levy for another six years beginning January 1, 2027. If approved, the levy would restore the current maximum rate to $0.50 per $1,000 of assessed property value and would maintain the current level of emergency medical services provided by the Tacoma Fire Department.
