Today, we pause to remember Detective Chad Parque, who lost his life in the line of duty on January 7, 2017, following a tragic on-duty traffic collision.
Detective Parque was a dedicated public servant, a beloved member of our NLVPD family, and a 10-year veteran who served this community with compassion, integrity, and heart.
On Jan. 6, 2017, Detective Parque was critically injured in a head-on collision with a vehicle traveling the wrong way on Martin Luther King Boulevard near Carey Avenue. He succumbed to his injuries the following day. He was just 32 years old.
Chad is remembered not only for the badge he wore, but for his kindness, character, faith, humor, and the love he had for his family, friends, and fellow officers.
His legacy continues to live on through those who knew him and through the community he proudly served.
To honor his sacrifice, the Northwest Area Command police station will be officially dedicated in his name, exactly nine years to the day after his end of watch.
The ceremony will include the Parque family, City of North Las Vegas leadership, and NLVPD Command Staff as we unveil a bronze dedication plaque in his memory.
