The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office wants you to know about an increase in phone scams involving people impersonating Sheriff’s Office personnel.

A man has been sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to multiple child sex crime charges.

The Carson City Sheriff's Office is warning of a new scam making the rounds in the area.

Two people were arrested, and six were cited as part of a prostitution sting targeting Johns by the Regional Human Exploitation and Trafficking Unit.

Scam invoices are being sent to residents requesting payments to Elko County.

More than 250 law enforcement agencies across 30 states participated Thursday to identify victims, arrest traffickers and buyers, and seize criminal assets. 

All of the suspects arrested are facing charges of engaging or solicitation of prostitution.

A man previously out on bail for child sex-related charges was re-arrested last week on child pornography-related charges.

A man released from prison earlier this year is now back behind bars suspected of sex trafficking.
