I recently graduated from the Citizen's Academy put on by the Carson City Sherriff's Office. We…read moreme6t every Wednesday evening from 6-9 PM for 10 weeks. This very informative Academy offered me the opportunity to learn about the various services offered and to observe a large array of situations that Officers encountered daily. Here's some of the services that I had the privilege to learn more: - Detention Center Tour (Learned the difference between Jail and Prison) - Coroner's Office - Detectives Division - Lab & Vault Units - SWAT - Search and Rescue (Volunteer) - AERO Squadron (Volunteer) - Mental Health (MOST) - Special Enforcement - Gangs Unit - Dispatch Center - School Resource Officer (SRO) - Volunteer Organization (VIPS) - Traffic - K-9 Unit - Patrol - Active Shooter/Post IHOP Education I very much appreciated the time that Sherriff Ken Furlong shared with us at the beginning of each session, and professional knowledge that his officers and staff shared with us during all their presentations. It was eye opening at times to realize how much goes on in greater Carson City and how big (Lake to Desert) this Country really is. Special thanks and gratitude to Colleen Schiller for coordinating all of this. My Wife Gayle used to run the Citizen Academy of the City of Walnut Creek and believe me, putting on programs like this are a LOT of much appreciated work. Thank You. Notes: 1. I hope that I'm never on the "other side" of any of these fine officers. I do try to convince my Wife that I'm a "Bad Boy", but she's not buying it. 2. Douglas County (where I live in Genoa) has a similar Citizen's Academy program. Please contact their Sherriff's Office for additional details. 3. The Carson City Sheriff's Office does a pretty good job communicating various crime issues and requesting information. I read about things like this daily via my newspaper subscription through the Nevada Appeal and the Record Currier. Douglas, Lyon, and Story Counties too. 4. Citizen's Academy presentations may or may not sometimes be biased towards the positive. I personally thought I received balanced presentations and was pleased that the officers seemed to want to be there, were straightforward about their duties, and were eager to answer questions. 5. If I were to suggest any improvements, maybe bring some Fire Department presentations into the mix would have rounded out my "uniformed services" knowledge. 6. Another goal of this Citizen's Academy is to recruit volunteers for various programs. There's some paperwork involved (which I have in hand), and I'm sure that when I do raise my hand, any volunteer efforts on my part will be well appreciated.

The officers there in the Jail were very professional, kind and informative- they all were…read moreinterested in meeting the needs of our family and helpful to make the process much easier. From a somewhat difficult circumstance, they made certain that I was informed, although they were not there for " my protection" per se, I felt that I was treated well and with a great deal of respect. They extend courtesy, professionalism, and work diligently to preserve the dignity of the in- custody individuals, and treat them with a great deal of respect as well. They are challenged daily I am certain, but continue to do their difficult jobs to meet the needs of our community very well. The Deputies in the jail are super- all of them. Thank you for all that you do. Of the names I recall, I would like to personally thank Deputy Carter, Deputy Oropeza, Deputy Garcia, and I am certain there were many more. From my family to you all- a warm and heartfelt thank you to you all!! Katherine

Back to Sparks PD to hopefully close the door on this event. I have been extremely lucky. The…read morepolice men and women have been exceptionally nice and helped make an unfortunate experience a more positive one. Sparks PD had returned my calls promptly. They answered all of my questions, and they really demonstrated empathy. I felt that they went well beyond and I am grateful. Now I don't plan to make a habit of hanging out at the PD. Hopefully I will never have to pass this way again. But it has given me an appreciation and faith in our justice system. Not an easy job and I am glad there are people full of heart that del with the public who need the help.

I have lived in the Sparks area for 46 years and I can't believe what's happening on the streets…read morefor the last 2 years. Cars running red lights and stop signs in all directions with both California and NV plates. Motorcycles cutting in between me and other cars stopped! Cars going at least 65 or more on Vista and other streets I get tailgated and flipped off for going the speed limit! This afternoon going to work on Vista, a CA driver road my bumper screamed past, cut me off then continued through the school zone same speed! only to be pasted IN the school zone by another CA SUV! It's ridiculous... Why have stop sign, signals or speed limits if no one is obeying them anyway and no one that I see is out there enforcing them!!!!
