Nevada County Sheriff, FAQ
What's the difference between a sheriff and a police chief?
A sheriff is elected county-wide, runs the county jail, and has jurisdiction over the entire county (including unincorporated areas). A police chief is appointed by a city and has jurisdiction only inside the city limits.
Can the sheriff serve process outside the county?
Generally no. Civil process must be served by a sheriff or process server in the county where the person or property is located. Neighboring counties cooperate but do not have cross-county police powers.
Are jail inmate records public?
Yes, in most Nevada counties. Basic booking information is public: name, charge, booking date, bond amount. Medical and mental-health intake is not.
Does the sheriff handle 911 calls?
In many rural counties, yes, the sheriff's office is the primary 911 answering point. In urban counties with a city police department, 911 is usually split by jurisdiction of the caller.
