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.

The Police Unity Tour is holding a Poker Tournament at the Club Cal Neva in Reno on February 21ST, at 12:00 noon. The tournament is part of a national fund raising effort to honor law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. (See attached flyer)
The Police Unity Tour began in 1997 with 18 officers and last year had 1100 bicycle riders for their annual fundraising event held in May. They ride from Florham Park, New Jersey to the Law Enforcement memorial in Washington D.C. “We ride for those who died” is the slogan for the Police Unity Tour which has donated over 5.6 million dollars to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial fund.
