before he and his squad of detectives were to be profiled by 8 news now in a story about crime on the las vegas strip. ((paula francis)) ford was known among his peers for a wicked sense of humor and dogged determination in the pursuit of bad guys. the i-team's george knapp looks back at a remarkable career. (( )) mike ford: this is such a great (blank)ing job. that, in a profane nutshell, sums up why mike ford was a great cop. he loved it. it was his job but also his his job but also his calling--finding and arresting bad guys. and his final assignment--hea ding the patrol detectives who work the strip corridor, meant there was never a shortage of targets. a shortage of targets. mike ford: it resets every night. if we catch a couple of serious incidents, shootings, stabbings, robberies.... mike ford: what's going on? nothing? nothing? you been running from the cops tonight? look at me and be straight up and don't lie to me.

loved what he did. detective bob whitely became ford's partner 11 years ago when both worked for metro's intelligence department. their assignment---pub lic integrity cases, or , as the i-team called it back then, a public corruption squad working in what has always been a target- rich environment. the team's first target was county recorder fran deane who had essentially put her office up for sale. ford and whitely had to plow through tens of thousands of documents to pursue the case. whitely: mike was a tremendous investigator. when mike was focused, he was dangerous. dean ended up pleading guilty and went to prison. whitely says the next target was umc hospital which was a hotbed of shady dealings. they again waded through mountains of paperwork then saw the ouster of hospital chief lacy thomas, who's case is still slogging its way through the courts. because of the sensitivity of the public integrity cases, then-da david roger handled them

became friends with mike ford. david roger/former clark county da: he comes across as kind of a goofy guy but he was a wickedly smart investigator and he was like a dog and a bone. if he felt someone was guilty, he wouldn't stop until the investigation uncovered every rock. both roger and whitely say there was one official at the time who somehow eluded criminal charges. life. like his friend bob whitely, ford had served as an army ranger during the panama invasion. at metro, he worked his way up..including a stint with the gang unit. in 2006, he accepted a new challenge--proj ecting a beefed up police presence on the strip. sgt. ford set a high bar for his team. although he was highly regarded by his peers, he was better known for an outlandish sense of

could feel at times the electricity of him getting wound he starts telling jokes. the next thing you know we are all laughing hysterically. ford was first and foremost a family man...father of three school age kids..coach of numerous sports teams. but the job took a toll on his health. nearly killed him. he wasn't expected to return to duty but defied the odds and won a plum assignment as the head of a team of detectives working the strip...all out action, high stress, confronting the most dangerous criminals las vegas could offer....when he died super bowl sunday, his detectives came to ford's home and carried the body to the coroners office. friends were crushed by the news but whitely says the memorial will be upbeat, filled with stories about mike ford's most outrageous antics. bob: he brought happiness into the world just from being around him, the cliche is he's one in a
