The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office will be undergoing a large remodel of the facility, starting in late July and lasting through December. Multiple divisions and departments are relocating to accommodate construction; therefore, services will be affected.

The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office public access areas and inmate visiting are being remodeled utilizing a recent $1.5 million COVID Emergency Supplemental Funding award from the United States Department of Justice through the State of Nevada Department of Public Safety, Office of Criminal Justice Administration. The remodel is to create safety measures to protect the health and safety of the community and staff. Modifications will provide one point of entry for the public coming into the facility. Services which used to be further inside the facility (such as inmate video visiting and cashier services for inmate bail) will be moved to the front public access area.
