Sheriff Issues Details on Office Operations

The Churchill County Sheriff's Office will continue to provide law enforcement services at this time with the following exceptions:

1.  We will continue to complete statutory required (i.e., sex offender, ex-felon) fingerprints.
2.  We will continue to complete work card fingerprints at this time.  We ask if you have concerns of exposure to the COVID-19 or have been exposed, that you not come in for fingerprinting at this time.
3.  Concealed Weapons Permit (CCW) applications will continue to be processed.  There may be delays due to the state, but we will continue to process the applications on our end.  We ask if you have concerns of exposure to the COVID-19 or have been exposed, that you not come in for fingerprinting at this time.
4.  Inmate video visitation in the front lobby has been suspended until further notice.  If you wish to have video visitation, that can still be done from your home as usual; however, there is a cost involved.  Inmates can always make outgoing phone calls and send and receive mail.
5.  The front office/civil desk will be closed for lunch between noon and 1 p.m.
6.  We prefer to contact reporting parties in person when they make calls for service, but depending on the type of request, we may try to complete the call for assistance with a phone call first.  This will minimize our contact with people for both the safety of the public and our deputies and families.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Know that these measures are taken after significant consideration to balance the needs of the citizens of Churchill County to have access to the services of the Sheriff's Office and our need to minimize the possible spread of the COVID-19 virus in our community.       Never miss the local news -- read more on The Fallon Post home page.
