We’re excited to announce Sasha Larkin, Law Enforcement Executive as our Keynote Speaker!

Sasha Larkin is an Assistant Sheriff with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, where she has served for over twenty-four years.  Sasha currently oversees two Divisions which comprise the Law Enforcement Investigations Special Operations Group: the Homeland Security Division and the Investigative Services Division.  The Homeland Security Division encompasses the Southern Nevada Counter Terrorism Center, Counter Terrorism Investigations Teams to include the Joint Terrorism Task Force, The Homeland Security Saturation Team, Special Weapons and Tactics, (SWAT), Air Support, K-9, ARMOR (All Hazards Regional Multi-Agency Operations and Response), Technical Analytical Section, (which leads all drone operations, covert/overt cameras and all technical support for the agency), the Real Time Crime Center, (RTCC),  and the Criminal Intelligence Section.  The Investigative Services Division houses the Gang/Vice Bureau, Special Investigations Section, Homicide and Sex Crimes Bureau, Major Violators and Narcotics Crimes Bureau, Theft Crimes Bureau, and the Criminalistics Bureau.

Sasha is currently the Intelligence Commander for Major County Sheriff’s Association and represents the LVMPD in national conferences on issues related to crime and terrorism, and the prevention efforts her agency is leading the country in.  She also sits on the Office of Director National Intelligence Board and the Joint Counterterrorism Assessment Team in Washington DC on behalf of the Sheriff to ensure proactive messaging for the LVMPD in the prevention and recognition of domestic and international terrorism.

Sasha’s last assignment before getting promoted to Assistant Sheriff was as the Deputy Chief of the Homeland Security Bureau for two years.  Preceding her promotion to Deputy Chief, Sasha had the unique and impactful assignment as the Captain of the Office of Internal Oversight and Constitutional Policing Bureau.  This bureau is comprised of the Force Investigation Team, the Critical Incident Review Team and the Internal Oversight unit.  Her teams of detectives responded on all officer involved shootings, any use of deadly force, and on all in custody deaths both on the street and in the correctional facility. She and her team led efforts related to police reform, policy updates, and ensuring continued transparency for the agency and community.

Sasha was originally promoted to captain leading the Support Operations Bureau, which encompasses Vice, Special Events, Human Trafficking, and the Office of Community Engagement (which conducts all religious and cultural outreach, refugee education, gang prevention, and overt counter-terrorism activities), Homeless Liaison Section, and the Patrol Watch Commanders and Laughlin Area Command.

Recognized for her work in community engagement, Sasha was integral in building the Office of Community Engagement (OCE) and the Fusion Liaison Officer Program. These two offices have reached thousands of people from all cultural, religious, and minority communities that would have never otherwise had a voice with the police. She is also Chair of Women of Metro, an outreach organization that mentors women internally for promotion in law enforcement and hosts a variety of community events.

Sasha has served in a variety of assignments through her career giving her a well-rounded platform to lead from which includes: Patrol, Field Training, Vice, undercover in the Intelligence Unit, a bike officer on the iconic LV Strip, the Problem Solving Unit, as a Sergeant in the Southern Nevada Counter Terrorism Center, and Internal Affairs, as a Lieutenant in Gangs/Narcotics, and in the Office of Community Engagement.

Sasha teaches all over the world, to include at the Naval Postgraduate School, Police Executive Research Forum, Safe Cities Network, and US State Department, for the LVMPD in the field of building programs that support the prevention of terrorism and crime, how to build bridges of trust with the community and prevent a sense of isolation, and ensure the police are integrated throughout the community they serve.

Sasha has been honored by numerous community organizations for her work in terrorism, law enforcement and community building efforts.  In 2016 she was recognized by the Anti-defamation League as the recipient of the “Shield Award” for building one of the largest, most successful Terrorism Liaison Officer Programs in the country, along with one of the leading refugee integration programs nationwide.  Sasha has also been honored with the Community Service Award by Girl Scouts of America and Top Cops in Washington D.C.

#YBIBSumit23 countdown is on!

Join us for a mid week #boldpotlight featuring Ashley Bryant!

We’re excited to announce our next #boldspotlight featuring Ashley Bryant! Join us for a wonderful mid-week motivation as Ashley Bryant and Ashley Burney will share their stories of triumph. Both ladies have endured their fair share of obstacles but yet have conquered, using their stories to encourage their community.

Ashley Bryant, founder and head copywriter at Ashley Bryant Copy, is an eCommerce and DTC copywriter for 6 & 7-figure brands looking to ignite their sales and refresh their messaging through Web Copy, Emails and PPC Ads. Ashley, an alumna of UNLV, graduated with a BA in Journalism and a minor in Marketing. Her story, like so many others, isn’t so linear. Time wasn’t on her side as she graduated right before the peak of the 2008 housing crash. Her career dreams crushed with it.

Fast forward to 2014, while working at an energy company in Houston, TX, she saw her dream of working in marketing finally within her reach. As she was planning her career, it would seem that god/ the universe had other plans. She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in early 2015, right before her 30th birthday. Overnight, she went from being on top of her game, excited for the future so close to her grasp, to feeling like the proverbial rug was pulled from under her. While learning to navigate her new diagnosis, she also had to re-learn to navigate the world around her. She went from the “one to watch” to the “one who can’t do much of anything.” While realizing firsthand that ableism is more than a word but an action that can change the reality of someone’s life based on their ignorance.

Leaning into her passion for writing and storytelling, Ashley began her writing career shortly after her diagnosis. Hosting two blogs centered on Multiple Sclerosis awareness. With her career dreams on the back burner yet again, and not seeing a way out of her current situation, she leaped when the opportunity to live abroad came her way.

On a trip home to Las Vegas to visit her family in early 2020, her world changed again. Ashley went from being a Kindergarten ESL teacher in China to pivoting and starting her copywriting business in 2021. Since then, Ashley has helped various brands increase sales and refresh their messaging worldwide.

Be sure to tune in tomorrow at 5pm pst LIVE on Instagram to hear from both Ashley Bryant and Ashley Burney as they share their journeys overcoming challenges!
