Bio: Thai was born in Bac Lieu, Vietnam in 1973 and dreamed of being a police officer since he was a child. He was able to achieve this goal in 1999 with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD). During his decorated 23 year career, Thai was a mentor and training officer to many. He not only policed with passion, empathy, courage, and integrity, he embodied it.
He was always a role model to his nieces and nephews, then to his own daughter in 2003. He will always be remembered this way. |
