The Washoe County Sheriff's
Office is concerned with keeping the community informed about the
operation of the Sheriff's Office. One of the ways to accomplish
this is by regularly keeping the news media, and thereby the public,
informed of events involving the Sheriff's Office and its personnel.
The Public Information Officer (P.I.O.) coordinates this by acting
as a liaison between the Sheriff's Office and media representatives.
Duties include assisting reporters assigned to cover news stories
and providing them with general information at the scene of major
incidents. Our goal is to provide timely and factual information
to the community we serve.
The P.I.O.
is available 24 hours a day to respond to the scene of major incidents.

Sheriff Mike Haley and the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Honorary Deputy Association have donated funds to assist the victims involved in the triple stabbing last weekend in replacing clothing and other personal items lost in the brutal attack. Given the community’s overwhelming response to the request from Reno Police Department Victim’s Services Unit, the Sheriff and Honorary Deputies Association have given $1,000 to be placed in an account for the benefit of the family in making future expenditures needed for their continued recovery from this tragedy.
