Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam

Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam filed for re-election on Monday.

He was first elected in 2018.

“It has been the single greatest honor of my life to serve as your Washoe County Sheriff,” Balaam said in a statement on Monday. “In the past four years, while battling through the pandemic, the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) added more than triple the number of new deputies promised, bolstered mental health services for inmates, streamlined and created new resources to crack down on human trafficking, and equipped medical providers and on-duty patrol officers with the tools they need to tackle the opioid crisis head-on. But, we have much more work to do.”
