Patrol & Investigations
The Storey County Sheriff's Office assigns deputies to patrol designated districts of the county to ensure complete law enforcement coverage. Traffic safety, emergency response, criminal investigations, and animal control are all responsibilities deputies are in charge of during their patrol.
Patrol deputies also:
Pursuant to Nevada law, the Sheriff is the ex-officio coroner.
Deputy Sheriff’s are deputy coroners. In this capacity the Sheriff and deputies
are charged with determining the manner and cause of deaths within the county
and ensuring the deceased and any property is secure until it can be released
to the appropriate party.
Investigations
Deputies assigned to the Investigations Division generally
handled more serious or in-depth investigations. This may be from the onset of
the investigation or a case may assigned to them following the initial
investigation by a patrol deputy.
All members of the Storey County Sheriff’s Office are
responsible for building and maintaining positive community relations with our
residents, holding to the principle of Sir Robert Peel that: “Police, at
all times, should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to
the historic tradition that the police are the public and the public are the
police, the police being only members of the public who are paid to give
full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the
interests of community welfare and existence.”
