Nevada Police conducting walk throughs at Nevada R-5 School District

This week all of our officers will be conducting walk throughs of the Nevada R-5 schools. 

We’ve added several new faces to our department and want every officer to be familiar with our district and the layout of each school.

It is very important for our department to have a partnership with our local schools. We want to thank Nevada R-5 for this opportunity to help give our officers much needed information and knowledge about each of our schools. The protection of our children is a top priority for the Nevada Police Department.
