Sheriff Pope’s Message of the Week : October 25, 2024

I am a native Nevadan, I still have not gotten used to observing Nevada Day on any day but October 31st. However, here we are; it’s Nevada Day!

• Nevada was the first state to ratify the 15th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits the states and federal governments from denying a citizen to vote based on that citizen’s “race, color, or previous condition of servitude.”

As you can see from the photographs shared on this page, we are quite busy with community events. The trunk of treats and fall festivals are going extremely well. Deputies are reporting back that kids and adults alike are very happy that the Sheriff’s Office is present at these events.

The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office continues its mission of breaking down barriers between law enforcement and our community, especially the youth. Halloween is next Thursday night, be safe and enjoy trick or treating throughout the County. We’ll see you at even more Trunk or Treats!
