Vegas police union remains against new NFL policy

Las Vegas Police Protective Association President Steve Grammas yesterday said that police officers who provide security at Raiders games “will still not submit to the biometric and photo requirements of a new NFL policy.” The NFL wants those officers to “share their photos for facial recognition purposes,” which the LVPPA said that it has “concerns” about. Grammas said that he, Metropolitan Police Department staff and NFL technical and security personnel met on Zoom last Friday. LVPPA and Metro, “at the behest of” Sheriff Kevin McMahill, said that they “would not comply.” Grammas said, “We’re going to stand by our officers and not require them to submit” (LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 8/27).
