LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — The North Las Vegas Police Department is mourning the loss of Officer Jason Roscow, who was killed in the line of duty on Tuesday.

Officer Roscow, 46, dedicated 17 years to the department, beginning his service on June 18, 2007.

His commitment to public safety led him to the Traffic Division on Feb. 9, 2013, where he was recognized with the Exemplary Service Award for his accomplishments under challenging conditions. He returned to Patrol Operations on Feb. 10, 2024, continuing to serve with dedication and professionalism.

Officer Roscow was more than a colleague, he was a friend, a mentor, and a valued member of our law enforcement family," the department said. "His sacrifice will never be forgotten, and his legacy of service and bravery will continue to inspire us all.

The department is working closely with Officer Roscow's family to provide support during this difficult time. Donations for his family should be directed to the official account established through the Injured Police Officer's Fund at Lexicon Bank, Account #1000010630.

The North Las Vegas Police Department extended its deepest condolences to Officer Roscow's family, pledging to honor his memory and ensure his service and sacrifice are never forgotten.

Officer Roscow and the suspect were killed in a shootout Tuesday afternoon after the suspect allegedly pointed a gun at another person.

This incident marks the first officer-involved shooting for the North Las Vegas Police Department in 2025.
