Thanksgiving is next week, as we approach Thanksgiving, let us be thankful for one another and for our great communities that make up Lyon County. Many will be away from their families on Thanksgiving as they work to keep our County, Country and World a safer place. Please keep those working to protect us in your thoughts and prayers.

The traffic complaints are prioritized and a responded to accordingly.

In traveling between the STET Sergeant’s regular patrol area and Wellington, small operation were also conducted on the Ramsey Weeks Cutoff, which resulted in citations issued as well.
STET’s next target is residential areas in Lyon County, namely the Dayton area. It is also important to note that STET will return to areas that generate complaints.
The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office also working with Nevada Highway Patrol and the Office of Traffic Safety to increase traffic enforcement throughout the region. Our OTS Office of Traffic Safety Sergeant proactively sets dates and conducts “traffic events” in coordination with Nevada Highway Patrol. These events make a significant difference on our roadways.
Thanksgiving is the most traveled holiday of the year, please be safe on our roadways!
