Resident deputies hired for Incline Village

Washoe County Sheriff’s Office is enhancing the Resident Deputy Program in Incline Village.

After more than six months of planning and preparation, two Washoe County Sheriff’s patrol deputies and their families are now full-time residents of the community in which they serve, joining Deputy Paul Longshore who has been a resident deputy in Incline for 15 years.

Even though 24-hour patrols were maintained in Incline Village during the recession and the Incline Village substation remained open, the office was not able to assign more than one resident deputy.

In conjunction with reinstating resident deputies, the sheriff’s office is also in the process of upgrading the Incline Village substation. After 50 years of nonstop operation, the substation is getting a well-deserved floor-to-ceiling make over.
