To further define these goals and to provide more specific direction to department personnel, a series of performance objectives and action steps have been developed and implemented within the department. These performance objectives and action steps, when utilized in conjunction with the departments policy and procedure manual, are designed to provide daily guidance to department personnel while they perform the myriad of duties associated with providing effective, professional law enforcement protection to the citizens of Churchill County.

Working within these guidelines the men and women of the Sheriff's Office are responsible for enforcing all of Nevadas Revised Statutes and Churchill Countys Criminal Codes, while providing services to all citizens of Churchill County. Delivery of these services to almost 28,000 residents is no small task when pitted against a County that spans approximately 5,000 square miles of land within its borders. Included are over a thousand miles of county and state roads that encompass portions of two of Nevadas major east/west highways (I-80 and U.S. 50) and one of Nevadas major north/south highways (U.S. 95.) The population of Churchill County is comprised of many different and varied ethnic and socio-economic groups, as well as a transient population mostly in the form of military and support personnel. This provides daily challenges to the personnel of the Sheriff's Office in completing its mission .
