2009 was a big year for the D.A.R.E. Program in Churchill County, as we reached the milestone of our 20th anniversary. It is quite an accomplishment when you consider that the number of students who have received the D.A.R.E. program in Churchill County over that 20 years is over 13,000.

The program consists of teaching the youth of our community the dangers of using alcohol and illegal drugs, as well as avoiding violence.

To maximize personnel resources in 2009 the Sheriff’s Office continued to utilize one of its 6 active D.A.R.E. instructors as a primary instructor for all grade levels. The D.A.R.E. program continues to be presented in the 5th grade and the 7th grade.

Community Education

The Sheriff’s Office has an ongoing program to provide community education to the residents of Churchill County. We provide guest speakers to many organizations. The program presents information on topics relating to crime prevention, home security, and what type of suspicious activities to be aware of in their neighborhoods.

Recognizing the importance of adopting an active stance in the fight against crime, the Sheriff’s Office stands ready to provide information, assistance, training, and crime prevention inspections to all citizens of the county.

Community Participation

The Churchill County Sheriff’s Office continues with its dedication to support community programs. We maintain active membership and participation in several committees.

These committees deal with important community priorities, such as substance abuse, and violence prevention. The Sheriff’s Office continues to strive to be a partner with the community, working towards the common goal of having a safe community.
