The commanding officer is Lieutenant Byron B. (As previously stated, the LVPD is strongly organized-crime-influenced.) The LVPD Intelligence Unit operates city countywide is the sole such unit in Clark County. The LVPD Intelligence Unit keeps detailed files on the Gaming Control Liquor Board men, but has consistently refused to grant the FBI U.S. There are no dossiers available on members of the above organizations. None of the 5 board members are overtly organized-crime-connected it is difficult to assess the level of collusion the boards engage in, because a majority of the applications they review cloak hidden organized-crime backing that is difficult to detect.

Thus, the power to approve liquor and casino license applicants for the entire state rests solely in Las Vegas. The same five men (the Clark County Sheriff District Attorney 3 appointed "Civilian" members) serve on both boards. The Commission is a "rubber-stamp" panel that does the bidding of the Gaming Control Board and the Clark County Liquor Control Board. The Nevada Gaming Commission oversees regulates the granting of casino licenses and the hiring of casino personnel. It is fair to conclude that the aforementioned deaths have served as a deterrent. The last homicide occurred on 4/12/60 there appears to be no heroin traffic in Las Vegas as of this date. Numerous heroin pushers have been the victims of unsolved homicides numerous others have disappeared are presumed to have been killed per the aforementioned policy (see Addendum File #B-3 for partial list). The rule is enforced to limit the number of narcotics addicts, specifically those who might support their addiction by means of robbery, burglary, "flim-flam" or other criminal activities that would sully the reputation of Las Vegas thus discourage tourism. The selling of heroin is forbidden is punishable by death. This rule applies specifically to heroin. (Restrictive real-estate covenants are widely observed by Las Vegas-based realtors.) A key "Policy" dictate is the "No Narcotics" rule. One goal is to enforce ad hoc segregation in the "Strip" hotelcasinos (e.g., admit Negro celebrities or perceived "High Class" Negroes refuse admittance to all others) to isolate Negro housing in the slum area of West Las Vegas. This "Policy" is informally enforced has the implicit approval of the Las Vegas political machine the LVPD Sheriff's Dept. E.g.' LVPD officers and Sheriff's deputies are often used to track down casino card cheats, "discourage" them run them out of town.) E.g., crimes against organized-crime-connected casino employees are frequently avenged by LVPD officers, acting on orders from the Casino Operators Council, an organized-crime front group. (E.g., Negroes are strongly discouraged from entering certain "Strip" hotel-casinos and on-site casino personnel are allowed to see to their expulsion. The LVPD and Sheriff's Dept enforce organized-crime policies with the implicit consent of the Clark County political hierarchy by extension the consent of the Nevada State Legislature.

Numerous officers within both agencies benefit from organizedcrime bestowed "Gratuities" (free hotel stays, free casino gambling chips, the services of prostitutes, "police discounts" at various businesses owned by organized-crime associates) outright bribery. This corruption is of the type most identified with "Company Towns" (e.g., casino revenue forms the financial base of Las Vegas thus influences the political base law-enforcement policy). It should be noted that both agencies are widely influenced and corrupted by factions of organized crime. The LVPD is similarly allowed to conduct investigations inside Sheriff's Dept, or "County" jurisdiction. Like the LVPD, it provides investigatory services for its specific jurisdiction, with an operational mandate inside LVPD, or "City" jurisdiction. The Sheriff's Dept patrols the "Strip" area south of the Sahara Hotel. Both agencies work within the other's jurisdiction by mutual consent. The LVPD's jurisdiction adjoins that of the Clark County Sheriff's Department (CCSD). The downtown area is jurisdictionally covered by the Las Vegas Police Department (LVPD).
