LAS VEGAS (FOX5) \u2014 Las Vegas police said some of the hardest calls officers respond to every year happen during summer family gatherings around pools.<\/p>\n

As more families head to pools to escape the summer heat, LVMPD said drowning prevention starts with constant supervision.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s absolutely devastating whenever a drowning occurs. And in my experience, it\u2019s when there\u2019s a celebration going on,\u201d said Sgt. Bret Garcia.<\/p>\n

Garcia said that reality hits close to home in the Hispanic community, where large family gatherings around water are common during the summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing Hispanic myself, I know that I\u2019ve been a part of great big gatherings. And when you show up, it\u2019s very easy to get into a conversation, and the kids like to get together, the cousins like to get together, they run around. You just need to make sure that someone is watching,\u201d Garcia said.<\/p>\n

He said when drowning calls come in, LVMPD officers, fire crews, and dispatchers have to move fast.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I had a friend who drowned. Luckily, they saved him. But he was in the hospital for about a week, getting all cleared out. And he\u2019s good now, but it was a scary situation at that time,\u201d Garcia said.<\/p>\n

Garcia said drownings happen at the extremes of age.<\/p>\n

\u201cKeep in mind that we see drownings at the extremes of age, whether it\u2019s our little ones or our elderly. Just because they have lots of years of experience swimming, doesn\u2019t mean that they\u2019re out of the danger zone. So, always swim with a buddy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

With triple-digit temperatures returning to the valley, LVMPD is urging families to have a plan before heading into the water.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou want to walk through a property as if you were a small child. If you can wander into your pool, even pets, you want to make sure that you button that up. Make sure it\u2019s nice and secure,\u201d Garcia said.<\/p>\n

County leaders previously said drownings disproportionately impact the Latino community.<\/p>\n
